How do you enliven a disused area of a transport hub?

​

​

We worked with the team at Airport City Manchester to “take over” and activate a large un-used area within Manchester Airport train station and convert it to Platform: a bustling street food market, social area and event space.

 

With a monthly calendar of events, this once abandoned void welcomed 500 people within the first 90 minutes of opening the first ever Foodie Friday, an indoor street food market with 6 traders and live music.

 

Platform has been running ever since with new programmes of events and pop-ups each month. Thousands of people continue to attend, participate and enjoy Platform.
