Description
The Silk Loft is our biggest room at Bridge 5 Mill. As you will find throughout the mill as a whole, this room is full of hidden gems; the floorboards have been recycled from an old school gymnasium; its iconic Mancunian red brick walls provide the perfect backdrop to whatever event is being held in the space; the high ceilings and oak wood beams make it the perfect callback to Britain’s rich industrial heritage.
Bridge 5 Mill is a characterful and uniquely sustainable mill on the edge of Ancoats. We provide affordable workspaces, flexible event spaces, and services to support diverse social change projects and organisations. We also deliver our own community and cultural events and facilitate a network of changemakers.
Our Victorian silk mill on the Ashton Canal was sustainably refurbished in 2001 by a dedicated group of people who had a vision to create a hub and resource centre for groups, organisations, and individuals working on environmental and social issues, taking action for change.
We are part of the charity Fairfield Environment Trust, and together with our sister organisations The Kindling Trust and Veg Box People, we work to deliver radical solutions to environmental and social issues.
If you would like to support our work by hosting your big day in our venue we would love to have you.
