About this location
Stoller Hall is a 399-seat concert hall at Chetham’s School of Music on the same historic campus as Chetham’s Library. Opened in 2016, it is a purpose-built acoustic concert hall with professional-grade audio specifications — one of the few modern concert halls in central Manchester with event hire capacity. At 399 people the auditorium is substantial for a concert venue. The proximity to Chetham’s Library (the 15th-century building) means the same location can offer both medieval collegiate and modern concert hall interiors within the same campus visit. At £5,160/day this is at the premium end of the Manchester hire market, suited to feature film shoots requiring a concert hall setting.
A purpose-built modern concert hall of this size is rare in the UK film-location hire market — most comparable spaces are either older Victorian venues or restricted from filming by their primary venue operators. The professional acoustic specification means location sound recording in the hall will be technically excellent, which matters for music-performance sequences and any scene where the acoustic environment of the space is part of the production design. M3 postcode is in Manchester’s Chetham’s/Victoria area, close to Manchester Victoria station. The medieval Chetham’s Library directly adjacent gives an extraordinarily contrasting second location within the same campus. Booking direct with Chetham’s School of Music events management; this scale of hire requires direct negotiation.
