Everything about The Printworks totally explained
The Printworks is an entertainment venue, located on Withy Grove in
Manchester,
England, and is one of two entertainment venues for
Manchester City Centre in the 21st century.
Until 1986, as the name suggests, the Printworks was a printing press, owned at the time of its demise by
Robert Maxwell. The site stood derelict from 1987 until 1998, when work commenced on the new venue, opening in 2000.
It contains mostly bars and clubs, including a
Hard Rock Cafe as well as a leisure centre and a 23 screen
Cinema, owned by
Odeon (formerly
the filmworks) and incorporating an
IMAX 3D screen. The Printworks was also know for being home to the
Hard Rock Casino in
Manchester until it closed its doors in 2006.
Launch Night
The Printworks was launched with fireworks display and a radio roadshow featuring many local and international acts. The headlining act of the evening was
Lionel Richie who sung a mixture of classics and newly record material including Dancing On The Ceiling (to which he punned to the crowd "
It's great that you're all dancing down there, but sometimes it's better to be dancing... dancing on the ceiling".)
The Filmworks
The Filmworks was a flagship branch of the
UCI Cinemas before their operations in the
United Kingdom were taken over by the
Odeon Cinemas chain. When the business changed hands, all
UCI Cinemas and filmworks locations were re branded to match the existing locations.
