Summary

A green-screen and photo/film studio in Manchester City Centre (Deansgate area). Hire from £35/hr for up to 6 people. Well-rated for personal service and professional setup.

About this location

Deansgate Studios operates from Manchester’s city centre, offering a compact green-screen setup designed for content creators, small production teams, and advertising shoots. With capacity for up to 6 people the space is calibrated for tight crews rather than large productions — which also keeps the hire cost at a level that works for micro-budget projects. The Deansgate location means central parking and easy crew transit. Recent reviewers note the booking experience feels personal rather than transactional, with the host available to assist with technical setup. The green-screen configuration allows back to be composited in post, extending the creative range beyond what the physical room offers. A solid option for any Manchester-based shoot requiring controlled colour work without the overheads of a full soundstage.
