Alderley Park is a business park development by Bruntwood and home to a world class science facility, which is part of Manchester Science Partnerships. It is dedicated to discovery and new ideas and it’s a base for progressive businesses, which pride themselves in new thinking.

It is a modern and dynamic space, which includes new homes, shops, a gastropub and sports facilities at the heart of its community. All this is set in 400 acres of historic parkland, with lakes and a water garden. It boasts historic buildings sitting side-by- side with the new, in a magnificent landscape.
