Depot Mayfield and Mayfield Park are a short walk from the Gay Village District and is the annual home for the concerts and DJs of Warehouse Project and Homobloc, the largest indoor LGBTQIA+ UK Festival. Manchester was also Hist City for the 2024 MTV EMA Music Award Week Events in November with acts like Olly Alexander, Christine & The Queens, Cobra & Jedward. Depot Mayfield stands as a testament to Manchester's industrious and fascinating history, embodying the city's character and heritage. Originally built in 1910 as a railway yard for the iconic Mayfield station, Depot Mayfield withstood the challenges of World War II, serving as Manchester's main train station. Subsequently, it became the lead mailing distribution depot for Royal Mail for 18 years until it lay dormant for almost three decades.
In recent years, Depot Mayfield underwent a remarkable transformation as part of a £1 billion regeneration project led by award-winning developers U+I and Broadwick Live, our event partners also known for iconic projects like Printworks London, Drumsheds & Parklife Festival in Manchester. This renovation revitalized Depot Mayfield, breathing new life into its historic walls and transforming it into a dynamic venue that celebrates both Manchester's rich history and its vibrant cultural scene.
