Destination.

MediaCityUK is a destination in its own right, adding to the existing Salford Quays visitor offer, which includes The Lowry arts centre (Greater Manchester’s most popular cultural tourist attraction), Manchester United Football Club, Lancashire Cricket Club and Imperial War Museum North.

Atmosphere is central to the MediaCityUK ethos and that is why MediaCityUK’s key buildings are centred around a five-acre public piazza which gently shelves down to the canal side. Roughly twice the size of Trafalgar Square, this zone is split into two elements: The Stage a paved piazza directly in front of the studio building; and The Green a landscaped park containing a new tram terminus. The piazza has been designed to hold events for up to 6,000 people.
