A room built for people who shoot
The Vault MCR is a photography and filming studio in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, hired by the hour.
The studio sits on Broughton Lane in Cheetham Hill, north of the city centre, with free parking on site. Inside there is one open room with steel beams overhead, paper backdrops in orange, black and white, plus a red backdrop set, a corridor you can light in colour, and a lounge corner for seated frames.
We keep the pricing simple. The room is £15 an hour and every piece of kit is priced on the page, so you can put a shoot together without asking for a quote. Photography and filming jobs are quoted separately when you want us behind the camera.
The idea behind the studio is straightforward: professional facilities, priced so that photographers, filmmakers and creators across Manchester can make good work without a big budget.
If you need the exact floor size or ceiling height before you book, email us and we will confirm the measurements for your shoot.
