Tours provide a behind-the-scenes look at broadcasting, including visits to working studios and insights into production. The building sits opposite The Lowry, with views across the water. Some tours highlight technical aspects of live shows, while others focus on the history of the BBC’s presence in MediaCityUK. The site is known for its accessibility by tram from central Manchester. Nearby, visitors often take photographs by the water, especially in good weather.
Customer Reviews
I was very dissapointed about this tour; for my job I’ve visited so many studios and these were 😟. Guides talk too much about irelevant things and only visit 3 tiny studios. The most fun was the end were you can be the host in a morning show or the weather man.
Had a fun tour of BBC MediaCityUK Salford... saw lots of studios and behind the scenes. Both guides made the experience fun and informative. Would highly recommend.
It’s a great palace
