About this space

The Silk Loft is the largest space at Bridge 5 Mill, and it’s filled with character and history. Throughout the mill, you’ll find unique details, and this room is no exception.
The floorboards were reclaimed from an old school gymnasium, the iconic Mancunian red‑brick walls create a striking backdrop for any event, and the high ceilings with oak beams offer a beautiful nod to Britain’s industrial heritage.
