About Studio 1
180 Standing / Reception
Studio 1 welcomes up to 180 guests into a space where Manchester's industrial past meets contemporary creativity. The original wooden beams stretch across high ceilings, framing an expansive room that photographers book for its pristine white infinity cove, then transforms for evening celebrations when the last camera clicks off. Natural light pours through the large windows running along the walls, illuminating the warm wooden floors that have witnessed everything from product launches to 50th birthday parties. We've configured this space in countless ways - theatre-style seating for brand presentations, cocktail tables scattered for networking events, or completely cleared for dancing when DJs take over the corner where fashion models posed hours earlier. The mezzanine level adds another dimension to your event. Guests naturally gravitate up the sleek staircase to discover the kitchenette with bar stools, where catering teams set up drinks stations or buffets. The modern seating and plush sofa create perfect spots for quieter conversations away from the main floor energy. We've seen wedding parties use this upper level for intimate toasts while the party continues below. Our partnership with Direct Digital means lighting rigs, sound systems, and projection equipment arrive when you need them. The infinity cove that makes photographers happy doubles as an impressive backdrop for presentations or performances. Our on-site catering team navigates the space expertly, whether serving canapés during gallery openings or full dinners for corporate celebrations. Manchester Piccadilly Station sits just 10 minutes' walk away, while drivers appreciate our private car park. Manchester Airport takes 20 minutes by car, convenient for international guests. The A635 passes right by, making equipment load-in straightforward for event suppliers. Our management team remains on-site throughout your event, ensuring everything runs smoothly while other studios operate independently around you.
