About
Campfield Studios
Campfield Studios is a new production and events venue within Manchester's Campfield technology, media and creative campus, located in the historic Upper Campfield Market Hall in St John's.
The Grade II listed former market hall has been transformed into a purpose-built environment for events, media, content, broadcast, fashion, e-commerce and creative production. At its centre is a dramatic glass-roofed atrium incorporating a large-format LED wall, creating a distinctive setting for live events, presentations, launches, exhibitions and creative productions.
Alongside the central event space, Campfield Studios includes a professional ground-floor production studio with interchangeable backdrops, a dedicated lighting rig and adjoining gallery, plus three daylight and production studios arranged around the mezzanine.
The venue has been designed to allow events and production to operate alongside one another, making it particularly suited to brands and organisers looking to combine live experiences with photography, filming, broadcast and content creation.
Manchester Fashion Week will provide the first full-scale public showcase of Campfield Studios as a standalone venue for external hire in September 2026, using the spaces for runway shows, talks, workshops, designer presentations, pop-ups and fashion photography.

Why Hire
Campfield Studios provides something considerably different from a conventional Manchester conference or event venue, combining a historic setting with infrastructure specifically designed around modern media and content production.
The central glass-roofed atrium provides a visually distinctive environment for launches, exhibitions, presentations and live events, while the integrated LED wall allows digital content to become part of the event environment.
Its production facilities are an equally important part of the proposition. A professional ground-floor studio and three mezzanine daylight studios allow photography, filming and content creation to take place alongside an event.
This makes Campfield Studios particularly relevant for brands, agencies, fashion, media and technology businesses looking for a venue capable of supporting both the live event and the content surrounding it.
