A New Era for Printworks

Say hello to Printworks new senior management team

We recently completed our £21M refurbishment which saw the unveiling of the largest digital ceiling in Europe in March.

The relaunch has delivered record footfall of 60% increase in footfall year on year in the immediate launch period.

However, the transformation is still ongoing, with the announcement of a new senior management team!

A New Vision Awaits…

 

Printworks managing agent Cushman & Wakefield has appointed Dan Davis as centre manager and Kristian Brennan as marketing manager. Both have extensive experience in leisure, retail, and hospitality in the North West.

Dan Davis, with over 18 years in retail and centre management, previously managed Manchester’s Corn Exchange. He will lead the onsite team to deliver the scheme’s future vision in collaboration with tenants and stakeholders.

Kristian, formerly an account director at one of the most successful native Northern agencies in the sector, brings a strong background in national retail and hospitality brands.

With these strategic appointments and ongoing innovations, we are poised to redefine the entertainment landscape. Stay tuned for more exciting developments at Printworks

Our Free Panna Tournament

Football fans of all ages scored goals under Europe’s largest digital ceiling!

Printworks Gets Into the Footie Spirit!

Ahead of the UEFA Euros 2024 kick-off in mid-June, Printworks got into the football spirit early as we hosted our very own Panna Football Tournament on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th June!

Printworks Scores Again!

Guests were invited to compete in Printworks’ first-ever Panna tournaments underneath Europe’s largest digital ceiling, which displayed bespoke football-themed content, mesmerising the whole family.

Expert football freestyler, Roman Brezovsky, also joined in on the fun on Saturday 8th June, entertaining the crowds with his quick footwork and ball tricks. Children of all ages and adults alike could join in on the fun, picking up tips for their Panna games as well as capturing out-of-this-world Instagram content from Printworks’ new digital screen.

The Opera Like Never Before

Underwater spectacular now showing on Printworks’ digital ceiling

Immerse Yourself at Printworks

A stunning new show will screen this weekend (8 – 9 June) at Printworks. An underwater, short version of the opera, Carmen, is now showing on the largest digital ceiling in Europe and it’s completely free of charge to see.

Come Discover the Magic

Recorded by London-based artist Claudillea, the song fuses the timeless operatic beauty of the original song with modern, glitchy dubstep bass and rhythms, creating the perfect dramatic and high-impact accompaniment to the film, suited to Printworks’ contemporary style.

There is nowhere else in the world where anything like this can be seen and it demonstrates our commitment to creating a whole new world of entertainment at Printworks.

The piece was produced and directed by Preston based ADI, who also designed and installed the 1,000m2 digital ceiling where the short film can be seen.
