We help make your event outstanding and easy.

Looking for a meeting place that’s a bit more unique? Maybe it’s time you considered Manchester College.

We’re a little off the beaten path, which can be a real asset in productive, memorable events. Our beautiful, oak-shaded campus provides just the kind of environment that invites attendees to relax, settle in and focus on the goals of the meeting.   

Every year, we host many different kinds of events – sports camps for young people, church leadership gatherings, corporate and non-profit organizational meetings as well. They come here to take advantage of the unique facilities and outstanding food service that make their meetings all the more enjoyable and effective.  

We’re a surprisingly affordable choice, too. Manchester’s “up-front” pricing means you know exactly what your costs will be from the start. We include everything – room set-ups, equipment rental, staffing, etc. – in the quote you receive, so you won’t get any uncomfortable surprises later.  

Come take a look at our campus. We’ll be happy to give you a tour and share ideas about how our facilities can help your group have one of its best events ever.  Please contact us!

Manchester College is located in North Manchester, Indiana in the northeast region of the state at the intersection of State Roads 13 and 114 (southwest of Fort Wayne and in-between the cities of Wabash and Warsaw). We invite you to visit Manchester College.

Our beautiful campus sets the stage for a great event.  
 The friendly, welcoming
 environment of Manchester
 College draws you in from the
 moment you first set foot on
 campus. Manchester’s 120-
 acre campus, beautifully
 landscaped grounds and brick
 halls set just the right tone for
 a productive meeting.    

 But don’t let the historic charm
 of the buildings fool you.
 Inside, we’re fully wired with all
 the latest technology. We can stage the most sophisticated presentations, set up teleconferencing, and manage any other technical wizardry you need. Our tech staff is on-site year-round, ready to help.

Small-town warmth

Manchester College offers the comfortable, secure setting of a small town.  We’re located in North Manchester, Indiana (population 6,500).  It’s the kind of town where meeting guests often like to stroll along the main streets, stopping to window-shop at a gallery of gifts from around the world, eat at unique restaurants, or admire the craftsmanship in the many restored Victorian-era homes along the tree-lined streets.

Urban resources

If your group wants to take a break from the meeting, you’ll find big-city attractions just a short drive away in Fort Wayne, the second largest city in Indiana. Maybe some of your group members would like to tour an exceptional art museum, visit one of the country’s top small zoos, or watch a professional hockey, baseball or arena football game. For shopping, you’ll find Glenbrook Square, Indiana’s largest mall, or Jefferson Pointe, a new open-air “village” of stores.

If some of your group members need to travel greater distances, you can easily make transportation arrangements. Manchester College is located about half an hour from the Fort Wayne International Airport, which is served by all major airlines.

The Conference Services staff will listen to your programming needs and objectives and suggest spaces that will encourage success and enhance your experience.  We guarantee that our customer service approach and event planning expertise is the best in the area.
