Studios are great, versatile spaces that can host a whole range of event types, from photography shoots to recording sessions. Manchester is well equipped with studio spaces – the city’s artistic pedigree means it is a creative hotspot with the venues to back this statement up. Having a wealth of studio space does guarantee an easy booking process, however. Use this guide to booking a Manchester studio to your advantage and you’ll be enjoying your beautiful Mancunion studio in no time at all.

Needs, wants and musts

Studio spaces are slightly different beasts from other Manchester venues. Depending on the kind of North-West studio you’re after, there’s a good chance you’ll be requiring specific facilities that other spaces can’t provide. Think carefully about whether you’ll need professional lighting, sound systems or framing equipment – these are not considerations you want to be confronted with upon arriving at your Manchester studio.

Getting around Manchester

Travel is rarely the most exciting aspect of holding a Manchester-based event, but it’s undeniably a vital one. Fortunately, Manchester is well-served by trams and buses that can ferry you to and from your studio space at any time of day. For those coming from afar, the central hub of Manchester Piccadilly station will be your most likely destination, so looking for studio spaces in the city centre itself is a great way to minimise travel.

Let the right studio find you

So you have a list of requirements, a fine-tuned travel plan and a powerful urge to secure your Manchester studio space, so what’s next?
