Wythenshawe Culture Hub Gets Planning Approval

Planning approval has been secured for a new Culture Hub in Wythenshawe, marking the first step in a £500m transformation of the town centre in partnership with Manchester City Council.

This landmark project will strengthen Wythenshawe’s arts and creative industries, providing spaces that celebrate both professional talent and grassroots creativity. The Culture Hub is designed to be a place for everyone, offering opportunities to experience, participate in, and enjoy culture at every level.

The new hub will span three floors, featuring foo

d and drink spaces on the ground floor, artist studios and flexible areas for workshops, exhibitions, classes, and community events on the up, and a 200-seat performance space designed for theatre, music, and contemporary art on the upper levels.

The Culture Hub is set to become a vibrant focal point for the community, creating opportunities for connection, creativity, and growth while supporting the long-term regeneration of Wythenshawe town centre.
