Escape to the MediaCity Waterside Steps…

Our waterside steps have been given some love this year. We have added extra seating and lovely new planting, and we have greened the steps opposite the screen for extra comfort.

Coming soon is ‘Of Dreaming’ – a beautiful new artwork installation by Salford artists Mike and Sian. It has been inspired by young people’s hopes and dreams, creating a bold three-dimensional piece that will become part of our waterside story.

Perfect for quiet lunch breaks, post-work wind-downs, or weekend exploring – our waterside steps are where Salford’s creativity meets the calm of the water.

PLUS! When you need food and drink, Kargo on the Docks and our other venues are right here. Find out more.
