15 Bruntwood listened and worked with us to identify a space with potential and then to fit it out in a way that suited MIF perfectly. It feels like our home and reflects something of the spirit of the Festival original and creative. Manchester International Festival headquarters at Blackfriars House Christine Cort Managing Director Manchester International Festival

We chose Blackfriars House for its great location, the existing companies already in the building, the new ones arriving and of course...the planned roof garden!

16 We chose Blackfriars House for its great location, the existing companies already in the building, the new ones arriving and of course...the planned roof garden! The style of Blackfriars House is exactly what we wanted, there isn t a suspended ceiling in sight. Instead we have double-height rooms, sash windows and a bright, open-plan space. We are so happy we made the move. Anna Moss Director 3 Door Digital
