Hosting two theatres, five cinema screens, a huge art gallery, two bars and a bookshop, this £25m multimedia arts venue is the hub for all things cultural in the North of England. Its programme of events, screenings and exhibitions caters to the most pioneering creatives, and it showcases art that is both challenging and unique. Fittingly, it’s the focal point of Tony Wilson Place, a sharp, modern district of Manchester named after one of Manchester’s most charismatic and innovative thinkers.
