Start your search for a film and tv studio in the city centre. You can find numerous options within Manchester’s inner ring in the historic districts of Spinningfields, Deansgate, and Piccadilly. Just outside the centre, you can find studios in Ancoats, near the Northern Quarter, or in the area around Bradford. A bit farther out of town, you can find larger studios in West Gorton and Salford. 

A film and studio hire should come with some basic fit-out; this may include basic lighting rigs, monitors and extra space for hair and makeup. You should be able to work with the studio staff to hire extra equipment such as broadcast or cine equipment, as well as props and sets. These extras may be available from the studio itself for an extra fee, or you may need to hire them from an outside source. The studio may have a team of recommended vendors and a crew that you can hire for your shoot.
