Open-plan office and desk space designed for productivity at 51-53 Ducie Street
Tucked away in the heart of Ancoats, our workspace blends a calm, focused atmosphere with all the energy of Manchester’s most creative neighbourhood. It’s a light-filled, open-plan space designed for productivity, but without the corporate feel – think clean desks with dual screens ready to plug in, relaxed lounge corners for informal chats, and a meeting room that’s perfect for client catch-ups or quiet calls.
The space works best for freelancers, remote teams, consultants, and creatives who want a professional setup without losing that sense of independence. It’s the kind of place where you can dive into deep work in the morning, step out for a great coffee or lunch by the canal, then come back for an afternoon brainstorm or casual meetup.
We occasionally host community drop-ins and industry-specific sessions – low-key but valuable, with an emphasis on connection and collaboration over formality. Whether you're here for a day or every day, it’s the kind of workspace that feels like your own.
Our workspace is right in the heart of Ancoats – one of Manchester’s most vibrant and fast-evolving neighbourhoods. Once the engine room of the Industrial Revolution, it's now home to some of the city’s best independent food spots, creative studios, and a real sense of community.
Just a short walk from Piccadilly and the Northern Quarter, Ancoats blends historic character with a modern edge. Within minutes of our door, you’ll find local favourites like Pollen Bakery, Erst, and Trove – ideal for anything from a quick coffee to a client lunch that actually impresses. The Cutting Room Square offers a relaxed open space to sit out on a sunny day, and the nearby canals give you the perfect excuse for a midday walk to clear your head.
Transport-wise, it’s well connected – just 5-10 minutes on foot from Manchester Piccadilly station, with frequent bus and tram links close by. Whether you're cycling in, grabbing a scooter, or relying on Metrolink, getting here is easy and stress-free.
In short, Ancoats gives you the best of both worlds: the buzz of the city, but with enough space to breathe, think, and work well.
