About this location
Montrose Studios in Stockport operates two hire spaces: the Ecom Studio with an infinity cove and the Main Studio with built-in sets. The Ecom Studio’s infinity cove at 8 people and £30/hr provides the classic clean background format used for e-commerce product photography and commercial shoots. The Main Studio at 30 people and £50/hr includes “different set-ups” — pre-built studio sets that provide immediate variety for productions without set-building overhead. With 10 reviews on Tagvenue and user descriptions of an accommodating team and well-equipped environment, the studio has a track record.
Stockport’s proximity to Manchester’s production network makes it practical to source crew and equipment from the city while working at lower venue rates. At Welkin Road, Stockport, the studio is accessible from Stockport station. The two-studio format allows simultaneous use of both spaces for productions that need to run stills and video in parallel. For productions in the North West working on commercial content or product shoots, Montrose offers a lower-cost alternative to Manchester city centre studio rates with comparable technical capability.
