Foundry Film Studios welcomed hundreds of creatives from TV, film, fashion, music and advertising industries to its official launch party in Salford, Manchester.

The £1.5million facility, which offers over 8,000 sq ft of space - themed a dark fashion style house party which saw revellers party until the small hours and enjoy music from DJs Stuart Chapman, Martin Moffatt and Will Tramp, entertainment from The Cat’s Pyjamas, fire breathing performers as well as drinks from Liquor Store and food from Luncheonette.

Foundry Film Studios Producer Madeleine Penfold was the organiser of the legendary party and said: "The last month and a half has been spent pulling in contacts that I knew were right for the launch of the party, luckily enough I got in early enough to book everyone I wanted and it seemed to pay off. From some of my favourite Manchester DJs to the visual artists that worked for weeks in the lead up to the event, we all came together to make the space as amazing as possible and throw one hell of a party for our guests! I’ve learnt from this one and it’s made me hungry to get planning the next event and to work with more talented individuals."

The Foundry Film Studios is a purposely-built venue located adjacent to MediaCityUK. It is an innovative and adaptable space, designed specifically for the creation of film, TV and advertising shoots and a space where events producers can deliver innovative concepts for up to 600 people in a unique and inspiring environment.
