The Printworks, Entertainment complex in central Manchester, England.
The Printworks is an entertainment complex in a converted industrial building in central Manchester. Its multiple levels feature restaurants, bars, a cinema, bowling alley, and fitness center alongside various retail spaces.
The building served as a newspaper printing facility for more than a century before its conversion to an entertainment venue in the late 1990s. This transformation preserved the industrial structure while adapting it for modern leisure use.
The venue draws people together for dining, socializing, and entertainment experiences throughout the week. Visitors gather to watch sporting events, enjoy live performances, and share meals with friends in a communal setting.
The complex sits near Victoria Station and Shudehill Interchange, making it easy to reach by public transport. Most areas are accessible, and you can find something open from early morning until late night, with extended hours on weekends.
The venue houses the UK's first Battle Bar, where visitors can play active games while dining at the same time. This fusion of gaming and food service sets it apart from typical entertainment venues.
