About this location
0161 Studios operates from Ardwick in south-east Manchester. Studio Jet — the main hire space — holds up to 200 people, which is unusually large for a studio in the Manchester market. This scale suits productions that need both a working crew and a full cast or background talent in the same space simultaneously, or events that double as film sets. The 17 Tagvenue reviews with a consistently lively atmosphere description suggest a venue that has been used for energetic shoots including music video and dance performance work, which aligns with its classification as both a dance studio and photo/film studio. At £60/hr for up to 200 people the rate-per-person works out very competitive. Ardwick’s location is accessible from Manchester city centre.
