‘A 5,000 CAPACITY ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATION FROM THE TEAM BEHIND RAMONA AND THE FIREHOUSE’

OPENING IN 2023, DIECAST IS MANCHESTER’S NEW CREATIVE NEIGHBOURHOOD WHICH HAS ALREADY BECOME A POPULAR LOCATION FOR FILM, TV AND MUSIC VIDEOS AND IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR CREATIVE EVENTS.

 

Later this year, DieCast will open as a 5,000-capacity entertainment destination, located between Store Street and Ducie Street. It’s the latest concept from the team behind Ramona and the Firehouse. Taking over Manchester’s largest city centre factory which is over 250,000 square foot.

Emphasising the size of the task, Joel Wilkinson, DieCast Director and owner said ‘We’re taking all our learnings from Ramona and The Firehouse, but this time it’s on an industrial scale. It’s more than a venue. It’s an area within itself’

When finished, DieCast’s Creative Neighbourhood will be home to a Night Market, Brewing Co., Warehouse Restaurant, and hotly anticipated Festival Stage. As well as Manchester’s biggest Beer Garden and a Creative Hub.

Due to the sheer scale of the site, the city centre location and striking industrial aesthetics, DieCast is made to deliver creative events on an epic scale. The sprawling machine works, and factory floor create a raw industrial atmosphere. Providing inspiration for original event concepts, parties, shoots, and film locations. All balanced with state-of-the-art logistics and technology.

“The Factory floor is available for creative events, filmmakers, musicians and event producers to use. This is the first part of establishing DieCast as a new creative resource for the city. We’ve had venues before, but never a whole neighbourhood!” Adelaide Winter (Creative Director)
