The Largest Digital Ceiling In Europe: Manchester Printworks | A Must-See!

📍 Manchester's iconic Printworks, once the hub of the newspaper printing industry in the North, this morning unveiled its new, 1000m² digital ceiling/screen - the largest in Europe - the final part of its five-year, £21m transformation.
The transformation has been spearheaded by owners DTZ Investors alongside a creative team of architects, brand and destination specialists and artists who have helped create what DTZ describes as "a first and a showcase for creative talent in Manchester."
Nine actors, eight dancers, six dogs, four rabbits, three snakes, three swimmers, two tarantulas, one baby and one Coronation Street star were filmed for over 250 hours to create the content for the giant LED canopy, which covers three internal streets and a central courtyard, over the course of 12 months. Lancashire big screen manufacturer and content specialist ADI and Manchester animation and FX studio Flipbook took the creative lead.

Thanks for watching! It’s changed loads in the last few years. Glad you enjoyed!

People go to the Printworks for using it as a shortcut either end or to go to the joints there. You don't go to Printworks specifically just to see some random visuals. World be better if it was in places that people gather around like in the Arndale or Piccadilly Gardens.

It’s pretty cool. I can’t wait to see how it develops. Hopefully the screens change throughout the year and at certain events happening.
