Explore downtown Manchester filming locations

Manchester is a cultural capital of England so it's been finding its way into films, commercials, and videos for decades. From the streets of downtown to professional film production studios, Manchester boasts hundreds of places to start filming at. Downtown Manchester, with its unique architectural heritage, has parks and city streets with film-friendly policies. But if you want to be in total control of the light and sound setting, you're better off hiring a space for filmmaking.
We recommend booking a studio with any of the film production companies in Manchester. Each one has studios with several thousand square feet of space, not to mention amenities like green screens, kitchens, infinity cyc screens, and soundproof interiors. Film production studios have decades of experience working with top international brands. Coca-cola, Nike, and The National Lottery have all produced commercials and films set in downtown Manchester!

Find film-friendly restaurants in Manchester

Restaurants are a classic addition to any script. They are a place for cast members to advance the story in a relatable way. Unfortunately, restaurants are also some of the most difficult sets to design, with loads of props required. Instead of spending limited funds on building sets in film studios, why not hire a restaurant with film-friendly policies instead?
A film-friendly restaurant in Manchester gives you an authentic space to work with. You'll have immediate access to tables, booths, a full kitchen, decor appropriate to the space, and more. These include historic pubs, rooftop fine dining venues, casual eateries, and more! A film-friendly restaurant may have limitations on when you can reserve the venue, such as after hours or only on weekends. But the savings they offer through a space that's authentic to every last detail makes up for it!

Discover mansion filming locations in Manchester

Do you have a mystery or romance set in an English mansion? Then you're in luck because there are plenty to choose from in the Manchester area. Mansions offer multiple sets in a single venue rental. You'll have a large lawn and garden for outdoor scenes, kitchens, bedrooms, banquet halls, and more. Rooms can be used for their original purpose or converted into lounges for staff or post production suites once you bring a few computers in.
Mansion rentals are available for more than just film productions. Check out historic mansion venues suitable for wedding receptions, corporate gatherings, art shows, and other special events! Mansions usually have several acres of property surrounding them as well, which expands the possibilities for your film.
