About this location
The VECTAR Project is a purpose-built film production facility in Stockport, operating a Main Sound Stage and Studio 2 as separately bookable spaces. The Main Sound Stage at 150-person capacity and £1,000/day is equipped with a VIP lounge and green room containing an LED display capable of relaying studio camera feeds directly to clients — a client monitoring setup normally found only in larger broadcast facilities. The crew kitchen with hot and cold drinks included in hire is a practical production amenity. Studio 2 at 20 people and £500/day is positioned as a secondary space for simultaneous stills or smaller crew shoots running alongside the main stage.
The Stockport location (SK2) is approximately 6 miles south-east of Manchester city centre — close enough for Manchester-based productions to use without the city-centre logistics overhead of central Manchester venues. For productions that need a properly equipped sound stage with client monitoring in the North West, VECTAR provides this at a day rate significantly below London equivalent facilities. The simultaneous use of both stages is explicitly supported — the studio describes Studio 2 as ideal for “simultaneous stills production alongside your film shoot.”
