Space Studios Manchester, Television studio complex in Gorton, England
Space Studios Manchester is a television and film production facility located in Gorton with multiple sound-treated stages designed for broadcasting and filming work. The complex provides specialized rooms for preparation, storage, and technical support needed to run professional productions.
The facility was established in 2014 as a major step in Manchester's effort to develop its film and television production capacity. The location built on earlier media initiatives in the city and has since grown to support large-scale professional productions.
The studio functions as a working hub where television productions come to life, and it is widely recognized as the home for BBC's Dragons' Den. Local productions and crews depend on this space as a central meeting point for their creative work.
The location is situated in Gorton and accessible by public transport, though driving may be more convenient. Most active productions are not open to casual visitors, so advance arrangements or special access are typically required to see the working studios.
The largest stage was designed with significant height and width to accommodate different set configurations for various production needs. This spacious design allows crews to build and film multiple scene types without needing to reconfigure the entire space.
