VERSA Studios Manchester officially opens
February 27, 2025
Over its illustrious history, Granada Studios served as the birthplace of some of British television’s most iconic series, from Coronation Street to Brideshead Revisited and The Jewel in the Crown. Granada Studios also contributed to Manchester’s cultural identity by hosting legendary performances from artists such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Joy Division. Building on this remarkable legacy, the new era of VERSA combines state-of-the-art facilities with the heritage of a location that shaped UK broadcasting and culture for decades.
Adding to this, VERSA Studios Manchester offers premium amenities, including dressing rooms, luxury green rooms, event areas, and the VERSA Club Lounge, providing a “home away from home” for productions. The newly reimagined campus also features state-of-the-art, 4K-enabled galleries and a comprehensive suite of production spaces, ensuring it meets the demands of modern content creation.
Already home to BBC’s Morning Live, The Crystal Maze, and Cloud Imperium Games’ Star Citizen & Squadron 42, the studios have also hosted productions for Sky, Amazon, ITV, Paramount, BBC, Netflix and more.
Charlie Ingall, Founder and Executive Director of VERSA Studios, commented: “VERSA Manchester Studios is built to be the leading destination for television, while also providing a first-class environment for film and creative productions. With world-class facilities, cutting-edge technology, and a location at the heart of the industry, we’re here to support broadcasters, filmmakers, and content creators in bringing their projects to life.”
