About this location
The Daylight Space is a hire studio within Hallam Mill in Stockport — a Victorian industrial building one mile from Stockport town centre. The studio occupies a mill conversion, giving it the specific architectural character of repurposed industrial space: exposed brick, high ceilings, mill-window natural light, and the texture of a building with a visible industrial history. At 50-person capacity and £55/hr it is the most accessible large-capacity studio in Stockport by rate, and one mile from the town centre at SK4 puts it within easy reach of Stockport station and the broader Manchester Piccadilly network.
Stockport itself — its Victorian railway viaduct, red-brick mills, and distinctive town centre topography — has established itself as a filming location for period and contemporary drama. The Daylight Space’s mill location integrates into that environment. User reviews describe a beautiful space with strong natural light, loaded with props and lighting equipment. For productions working in the Stockport/Manchester orbit, this represents a cost-effective alternative to city-centre studio hire with more distinctive industrial character.
