Where We Film in Manchester
Filming in Manchester
Our Manchester-based video crew serves the entire Greater Manchester area, from the media hubs in MediaCityUK and Spinningfields to events at Manchester Central. Because our team is local, we handle all Screen Manchester permits and logistics for you, saving you the cost of flying in a crew. We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Liverpool and Leeds.
Venues We Film At in Manchester
We film at Manchester's leading event venues, from modern convention centers to boutique cultural spaces. Our Manchester crews are experienced with local venues and understand the unique challenges of each location.
Manchester Central Convention Centre
City-centre complex with over 23,000 sq m of space, including the 10,000 sq m column-free Central Hall and the 804-seat Exchange Auditorium.
View our work hereHilton Manchester
Hilton Manchester Deansgate has 20,409 sq ft of event space, including the Deansgate Suite for up to 600 guests.
View our work hereEtihad Stadium Event Space
Manchester City's stadium hires out rooms including 93:20 Central for up to 500 and the Commonwealth Suite for up to 300.

Producer’s Note:
Filming across Spinningfields or the creative hubs of MediaCityUK requires our crews to always pack robust weather-sealed gear for Manchester's famously unpredictable rain. For massive events at the Manchester Central Convention Complex, we utilize high-output continuous lighting to balance the historic, cavernous architecture with a polished, modern corporate aesthetic.
Filming in Manchester
What to know before you shoot in Manchester
Filming permits and public-space rules
Manchester is simpler than London in one respect: there is one obvious front door. Screen Manchester is the city council's film office, and it supports any production that needs permission to film on location in the city. Its services include permissions and liaison, road closure and traffic management clearance, a location database and links to local crew and facilities. Permit applications are made through its website. The office describes this work in terms of high-end TV, feature films and commercial shoots, so a corporate crew should describe the shoot plainly and ask which permission applies to it.
If your plans are small, such as a few minutes of city-centre cutaways, do not assume nothing is needed. Screen Manchester does not appear to publish a small-crew exemption like Film London's written threshold for the capital, so a short email or call to the office before the day is the sensible step. Rules change, so confirm them for your dates and location.
- Trams and interchanges are a separate process. Transport for Greater Manchester says permission is required for filming and photography, including at Metrolink and interchange locations, and advises asking at least 10 working days ahead.
- Commercial requests to TfGM use its filming request form, sent to filming@tfgm.com.
- Land that looks public can have a private manager. Check who runs the site before setting up, particularly on estates and around office developments.
Drone rules
The UK-wide Civil Aviation Authority code applies here: a 120m height limit, no flying over crowds, and no entry to an airport's flight restriction zone without its permission. Larger drones must keep 150m from residential, recreational, commercial and industrial areas. Drones under 250g or with UK0, UK1 or C0 marks can fly in those areas, as can C1 drones until 31 December 2027, but not over uninvolved people. Manchester Airport is about nine miles from the city centre, so check the NATS airspace map for your exact location instead of guessing.
Local rules can be tighter than the national ones. Screen Manchester tells productions to use an approved drone operator and can supply a list, but its published guidance dates from 2018 and predates the current code, so treat the CAA as the authority on the aviation rules. Separately, the MediaCity estate does not permit private drone flying. Security will approach anyone flying there, and commercial filming is approved only case by case. MediaCity asks for risk assessments and method statements, at least 10 million pounds of public liability insurance and a fee, and allows the footage to be used only for the named project. Confirm all of this before booking a flight.
The business event calendar and districts
Manchester Central, at Petersfield in the city centre, is the anchor for B2B events. The important thing to know is how mixed its calendar is, because trade events sit alongside large public shows. Its listings for the coming months show Digital Construction North on 18 November 2026 and the Insider North West Residential Property Awards on 25 February 2027, both for trade and professional audiences, in between consumer shows.
DTX Manchester, a two-day technology event with more than 100 exhibitors, returns to Manchester Central in spring 2027. Its website lists 28 and 29 April in its opening times, although one header on the page says 29 and 30 April, so confirm the dates with the organiser before booking a crew or travel. Its audience of technology leaders and practitioners lends itself to short speaker interviews and stand footage.
Outside Manchester Central, much corporate work is likely to take place in hotels, offices and studios, each with its own rules. Ask the venue's event team about filming before you confirm a schedule.
Practical logistics
Manchester Central is an easy venue to reach without a vehicle. St Peter's Square is the nearest Metrolink stop, a few minutes' walk away, and Deansgate-Castlefield is also close. Oxford Road station is about five minutes on foot, while Piccadilly is about a 20-minute walk or a five-minute taxi. Trams run every few minutes from early morning until late evening, which helps early calls and evening awards.
For kit, the venue has an NCP car park directly below it, open 24 hours a day and bookable through NCP, and a taxi rank at the front. Manchester Central does not publish delivery details on its visitor page, so ask its team on 0161 834 2700 or your organiser about load-in if you are bringing more than a crew can carry.
Time of year matters in an unusual way here. Between 28 November and 20 December 2026 the venue runs Christmas Party World, and consumer shows fill much of January and February, so check what else is in the building on your date. A shared building can mean more foot traffic, busier parking and competing noise, all of which affect interview locations. A quiet corner chosen on a floor plan may not be quiet on the day, so ask for a named room if clean audio matters.
