A Comprehensive Guide to Coworking Spaces in Manchester
In 2024, Manchester’s flexible office market bounced back by 34.5%, with take-up reaching 280,598 sq ft, up from 208,595 sq ft in 2023, reported by the Manchester Office Agents Forum (MOAF).

Once known as the powerhouse of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, Manchester, famously known as "Cottonopolis", has reinvented itself as a modern nexus for tech, fashion, music, and media. Historic neighbourhoods like the Northern Quarter and the regenerated MediaCityUK are now home to creative agencies, digital startups, and major broadcasters.
