About this location
Submerged Spaces runs two distinct hire spaces from the same Bradford, Manchester address. The warehouse room fits up to 80 people and brings raw industrial character — exposed structure, open ceiling, and a floor plan wide enough for multi-angle shoots without rearranging gear between takes. The blackout room is a separate, smaller space with up to 20 people capacity, purpose-built for controlled-light work: studio portraits, green screen adjacent shots, or anything where ambient bleed kills the look. The complex has logged 26 reviews on Tagvenue with a 4.9 rating. At £30 per hour it sits at the affordable end for Manchester, and the Bradford location keeps parking simple. The team has a reputation for being accommodating with bespoke setup requests.
