The TV Festival to relocate to Greater Manchester
A growing global hub
for film & TV
With the locations, talent and
support to deliver at scale
Greater Manchester is one of the UK’s most exciting places to make film and television. From major studio productions to independent features, we offer a compelling combination of location, infrastructure and talent – supported by a joined-up network that makes production straightforward.
A clear, long-term investment to attract ambitious film and TV productions, drive jobs and skills, and accelerate the growth of the city-region’s screen sector. It’s a confident statement of intent:
Greater Manchester is ready to deliver at scale.
A wide range of settings in close proximity – city centre, suburbs, industrial heritage and green spaces.
A growing pool of skilled crew, creatives and production talent.
Established studios, post-production facilities and supply chains.
Film offices and support across Greater Manchester, working together to support productions from first enquiry to final shoot.
