The Manchester Victoria Baths Trust was set in up in 2000 by local residents, with the aim of re-opening the Baths for public use.
The Trust manages the building on behalf of Manchester City Council and is made up of trustees, staff, and volunteers. It is a registered charity (number 1026351) and a company limited by guarantee (number 2841292).
The current focus is to maintain and further develop Victoria Baths as a unique visitor attraction, events space, and community venue, to ensure that this unique building continues to be discovered and enjoyed by the local community and new audiences for many years to come.
Over 35,000 people visit the building each year, enjoying an eclectic programme of community, public and private events. From yoga festivals to art battles, festive fairs to beer conventions – this unique space has something for everyone.
