MediaCityUK Piazza

Open air square – notably not a Public Square  – owned by Peel Holdings who are the developers behind the Media CityUK project as a whole. It’s a fairly large gently sloped square offering the flexibility to hosts events of varying sizes. Nearby you can find the BBC Blue Peter Garden which is a surprisingly petite, welcome, section of greenery and sits in contrast to the concrete Piazza.
