Never been here before, but we'll be coming back. It's a lovely..... Well I don't know what to call it. It got theatres and a cinema, some art, bar, restaurant.... Anyway it's very nice and the staff are lovely too, friendly and helpful. The only negative point is that the benches in theatre 2 are not too comfy. Loads of leg room though.

I have been coming to HOME five times for Manchester Animation Festival in 2017, 2019, 2023, 2024 and 2025! It is the perfect venue for the festival. The cinemas, event space, restaurant and cafe have been outstanding during my visits.

I came here for Japan week to see a theatre performance and it was fantastic. HOME is a nice theatre with a cinema as well, staff are friendly inside and the theatre is small but comfortable, good view of the stage.

What an exceptional place this is! This is coming from someone who really misses the old cinemas vibes, I honestly can't stand the tackiness, poor quality, overpriced popcorn, sub-par experiences of Vue, Odeon, Cineworld and all that mega franchise stuff. The HOME is true to its name as it hosts a variety of activities and events, it has a few cinema rooms (cheaper rates too), a bar on the ground...
HOME’s exhibitions and film seasons update each season; check the online calendar for summer exhibitions, winter film series and special festival events before your visit
