About
Venue Hire
Not only is Mountain View Innovation Centre the home of business innovation in the Isle of Man, it is also available as one of the most exciting venues on the Isle of Man too! Originally developed in 2001 as Island Studios, and recently given new investment and extensive refurbishment, Mountain View provides several venue opportunities.

The large warehouse-type building has a huge roll-up door allowing drive-in vehicle access (which would accommodate even high-level trucks and double decker buses!). The room is also fully equipped with ample power, lighting and a fire-sprinkler system.

Studio One is the largest and most flexible venue of its type on the Isle of Man.
