Depot Mayfield

Depot Mayfield is a 10,000 capacity venue in Manchester’s historic former railway station. The site was transformed in 2019 into a multi-use space for arts, music, industry and culture in the city centre.

Built in 1910 as a railway yard for Mayfield station, and used by the Royal Mail as a distribution centre until the 1980s, the site lay dormant for almost three decades. The recent renovation is part of a £1 billion regeneration project from award-winning developers U+I and Broadwick Live, the team behind Printworks London and Festival No.6.

The building’s industrial heritage has been retained as fully as possible, with original raw concrete floors, exposed brick and metalwork and huge iron struts supporting the underground vaults. Five large-scale, interconnected spaces lend themselves to events of any size, from private parties to brand activations and pop-up festivals.

Depot Mayfield launched in 2019 with Manchester Pride Live and has since been home to The Warehouse Project, Escape to Freight island, and as of October 2022, Backyard Cinema. A sought-after destination for music and culture, the venue also hosts conferences, product launches, sporting events, automotive events and can be activated as a film and production set.
