Manchester Central will host Manchester Calling, a new pre-show reception launching ahead of CHS Manchester on the evening of 29th September 2026.
The event has been designed to give exhibitors, hosted buyers and industry professionals a structured opportunity to network before the main show opens. It will begin with dedicated sessions for exhibitors and hosted buyers separately, before the two groups come together for a shared reception open to the wider CHS Manchester community.
Emma King, Founder and CEO of CHS Manchester, said: "Manchester Calling is exactly what it sounds like. It's our chance to welcome the industry to Manchester, set the tone for the event ahead and create an environment where people can relax, enjoy themselves and do business in the way our industry does best."
Manchester Central is both host and sponsor of the evening. CHS Manchester says the addition forms part of a broader aim to extend the event experience beyond its official show hours.
