MediaCityUK’s Place Director, Josie Cahill said:
“It’s been 10 years since the first broadcast came out of MediaCityUK and to be recognised as one of the UK’s best places is a very exciting moment in MediaCityUK’s evolution. As well as being a hub for the creative, digital and tech sectors, it now has a thriving community of not only workers but students, residents and visitors with families particularly enjoying its gardens and open spaces.
“Despite the pandemic MediaCityUK has continued to attract a vibrant independent scene with the likes of Vertigo, Seven Brothers, the General Store and Chapati Café all committing and having confidence in MediaCityUK even during unsettling times. There’s a real buzz and vibrancy at the minute and the phenomenal success of Box on the Docks has played a big part in MediaCityUK’s growing popularity as a visitor destination. To have that officially recognised is really exciting.”
