The Boiler House is a friendly
community workshop space
dedicated to making and
mending, a mile from the centre
of Manchester. We offer access
to a wood workshop, DIY
workshops, and space for
community events.
Our vision is to kick start a new community-led industrial
revolution for 21st century Manchester, based on
technology, low carbon and sustainable solutions, and a
highly skilled population.
In the 1980s the Boiler House operated as a district
heating system for thousands of homes and has gradually
fallen out of use. The building is over 300m2 and comprises
of four large workshops, a main hall, offices, reception
and terrace.
