Overview

The Empty Space is a unique and custom-built theatre space, housed in an old industrial unit just five minutes from the main studio block at MediaCity.

The Empty Space is a unique and custom-built theatre space, housed in an old industrial unit just five minutes from the main studio block at MediaCity. Since its inception in December 2016, the venue has developed into a popular performance space, hosting a variety of professional and amateur productions throughout the year, including the GM Fringe. It also hosts college graduate shows, comedy nights, music recitals, showcases, training, and rehearsals, and is home to Footlights Theatre. “We wanted to build a place that everyone could use, to attend and perform in without feeling they had to wear their Sunday best. It’s a place for the next-door neighbour, the accomplished actor, someone just starting out, and the established writer, the unheard of comedian, a place to feel like home. Step through the door and the magic begins.” Jo Fisher, Director of Footlights Getting here: Car – Use postcode M50 2GL for sat nav. Turn off South Langworthy Road (opposite Futureskills) onto Kansas Avenue, take the second road on the right and The Empty Space is the second building on the left. There is limited parking directly outside the venue, or on the car park opposite at weekends and evenings. Metrolink – The closest station is Broadway. Head away from the Quays towards South Langworthy Road and follow the driving directions above (five minutes walk). Bus – Numbers 50 and 79 stop on South Langworthy Road close to Kansas Avenue.
