First time I have been to Makers Market that it’s situated in front of the Lowry Theatre and the Lowry Shopping Centre, and I enjoyed myself even though I didn’t purchase anything even though my eyes where on the cakes and other food item. Also I had a stroll around the quays and around media city where the tv studios are. I didn’t go on the cruise boat that offered trips are the lock area etc, as didn’t plan that. But maybe would if researched the events that they hold. Came here as something different and if you have time maybe visit the Imperial War Museum, in which I have been too in the past.

I come on a quiet week day and driven for 25 minutes and arrived. However, back to my home only 20 minutes which is a lot faster though. My friends search on Google and were attracted by the outlets here. Frankly speaking there are a lot of outlets and places to go like the museum. However, the first floor is mostly empty and obviously due to the lack of flow of people and the number of intended people to be served is not as planned as the council desired. Clarks, Next, M&S Outlets are here and they have some bargains price. However, the view is good and the convenience of this place should have attracted more people to come. The riverside view is good and they have boats for touring too. If the council want this place to be vibrant, I think they should plan more events and serve the community better. As you can see there's not really a lot of people here. And I wonder how the expensive rental and properties market can sustain.

I love this area. There are lots of eateries and the ‘vibe’ is great especially when the sun is out. It’s a really modern area and I would highly recommend a visit. The walk around next the water is fab too. You can even hop on a boat, booking advised.

Lovely place to visit. We had a nice lunch here, and got the chance to visit the Lowry and the Imperial War Museum. We also bought a few things in the local shopping centre. It was a great day out, and was very quiet. I’d come back here.

I have already written a review for the Lowry Outlet Mall as this place is known locally so apologies if I’m repeating myself. I walk here most days as it is a very pleasant walk through Media City to get here. The Mall itself is smaller than the nearby Trafford Centre however that is part of its charm. It is far less busy for one thing and for a second you can pick up some real bargains. There is an M&S, NEXT and CREW clothing shops as well as many others. There are some health food shops, charity shops and several cafes including a CSTA Coffee. Upstairs there is a food hall with a seating area. There’s a Harry Ramsden’s fish and chips, a Burger King and Tandoori Delights which is my favourite. There are others too. Downstairs there is a new Street Food hall called Kargo Market with many food stalls, seating and a bar serving alcoholic drinks. Opposite Kargo Market there is a nice restaurant from 7 brothers called 11 Central which I have done a separate review for. There is a great cinema too!. There is a car park in the mall and there are tram and bus links to the area Thanks for reading

It's such an amazing experience. Honestly, the place is cool 😎 and i was in screen 5, the best, honestly

I visited the area with my son and family when we went to the Lowery Art Gallery / museum. Mainly visiting the Julia and Axel experience. Very interesting. My granddaughter loved looking around the different areas for some of the books they have written. Gruffalo, Zog, Snail and the Whale, and The Ugly Five to name a few . Lovely area to sit and read the books . We also passed through the Lowery section . Beautiful paintings with a video area about the artist. Lots of other things going on in there too.

A cosy ensemble of shopping outlets in the beautiful atmosphere of the Media City, Salford. You'll find a long list of designer labels with surprisingly massive discounts across the board. Brilliant selection of clothing, beauty, food, toys and household brands, as well as food courts and bars. This place is an absolute vibe!

Wonderful architecture, amazing views and a tasteful nod to the history of the canals. There are some good restaurants and coffee shops too. Go and visit the imperial War museum while you are there!

We loved media city, so much to explore and its exciting seeing all these places you recognise from the telly esp the blue Peter gardens the kids found it so exciting and it was the perfect spot to get the tram into Manchester City centre

Amazing place, so much to see; food, shopping,and culture. Great day out!

Lovely riverside location with large selection of shopping and eateries nearby. Lots of cultural venues in this location also. Even for a jog or stroll up and down the river to see all the buildings of river boats that you can use it is hugely interesting location.

Awesome. It was a lifetime experience. Vast expanse of water body with amazing structure of bridges across the water body at various point, well maintained area housing all popular cos Viz BBC, i TV, Loury, pizza express, Imperial War Museum etc. Water sports activities are also there

Nice place to visit, went to the Lowry , parking was easy although after coming out of the Lowry the directions to the car park are virtually non existent, of you're going to a show book somewhere in advance for food, seen lots of people getting turned away from where we ate , the staff at the lowry are very helpful and very approachable, all in all a positive experience

The shopping center is a popular destination for locals and tourists. Beautiful place to visit with attractions and shopping centres,food and beautiful buildings and river and War Museum with free entry.We had a beautiful day love to visit again very soon

Lots of walking but well worth a visit for night life, restaurants, exhibitions. Tram and bus easy to navigate there from Machester Picadilly rail station. BBC and ITV Studios on site.

Beautiful scenery is great for a location shoots and has many production studios including Peel Media, BBC, ITV Studios, ITV Granada, NEP Connect, University of Salford, Warner Bros, Dock 10 Studios, Unity Radio Manchester. I have worked with a few of these studios and it's nice to go to the Quays to escape for a while.

Great place for day out shops, museum, Art gallery( which are all free ) media city, theatre & nice restaurant

Had a day at Salford Quays and really enjoyed it. The whole area was very clean, very easy to get around and had a nice relaxed feel. Even though it was a Saturday we didn't feel rushed. The actual quay side was very modern and the apartments weren't tower blocks. As we were leaving, about 5pm to get home, about a 3hr journey, the lights came on and their reflection on the water was lovely

Visited to see the kids book exhibit by Julia donaldson. Wow! Really good experience. My wife is an aspiring writer and learning how the process done by Julia Donaldson constructs the story was fascinating. Not to mention the kids really loved the exhibit too. All their favorite books in one place. Spent a few hours here with the family learning, playing and immersing ourselves in literature. Car park was on site and it was well sign posted. Great venue bug even better exhibit.

Central Bay was really busy, but with lots of places to get your food you didn't have to wait long. Above average prices, but the food was delicious. Definitely go again to try the different food from different parts of the world. 10/10

Fun, lovely and cheap day out. Fun area and pleanty to do. Bus and metrolink and plenty of parking. Imperial War Museum is a must visit (free entry) or just grab a coffee and what the world go. Theres always something going on either on the water or on the land.

A good variety of shops and places of interest to visit here, well worth a visit

Has the potential to be good, but empty shops far outweigh the full shops with more showing to close. Food hall few good choices. Outside area choice of restaurants and bars and water ways offer good views. Media city across the way has things to see. Again worth a visit but won't return in a rush.

Great place to see all the BBC building, coronation street set and the imperial War Museum in Manchester

Went to the monthly Makers Market. Many varied stalls with lovely products. Bought some wonderful food for lunch, enjoyed it so much that we went back and got more to take home. Will definitely go again.

As soulless, expensive, gentrified and lacking in basic services places go, this is a perfect example. Streets are the cleanest I have seen in the UK tho.

Average choice of outlet stores, cinema, small food court, toilets etc. Perfect if you need to waste time before a show at the nearby Lowry theatre.

We visited The Lowry to see Calendar Girls, which was first class however we got to the venue early. On arrival the reception staff were very helpful and pointed us towards the dining areas. We then enjoyed lunch and a drink at reasonable prices for both. A pleasant experience overall.

Media City Quayside is located at Prestwood Rd, Salford M50 2EQ. Quay side market stalls are operating outside the shopping mall on Sunday. The vicinity consists of famous restaurants, Quayside shopping mall, bridge and open market. It is worth coming to have leisure walk and take a coffee in open area facing the sea.

It seemed well developed, and there was an outdoor market for artisans on the day I visited. Bought some pastries, really nice. Having a chat with some of the locals and they said it has become very expensive to live in that area due to the new developments.

Good short walking trip to MediaCity UK but nothing else much to do as the BBC Tours are still currently shut during the pandemic

Nice place with some great attractions when they're on, otherwise nothing much happening during the daytime. W3 were there for the "Floating Earth" exhibition on Thursday, the night it reopened, it was cold, wet and windy and all the coffee shops in the Lowry Outlet were closed. Couldn't find another coffee shop anywhere and didn't want to sit in a bar for one. My biggest issue with Media City itself is that being an amateur photographer I do visit now and then but over zealous security hassle you if you have anything larger than a compact camera, doesn't matter about anyone using a phone or small compact that probably cost more than most, "Professional Looking" cameras, certainly my old entry level dslr that I had up until this time last year. God forbid you get a Tripod out, they are on you like flies around, you know the rest. I'm registered disabled so need to use one quite often.

Most of shops closed after covid but still clean mall, good walk around the mall. Nice food,

Sadly I'm old enough to remember this place as a kid before the regeneration and I've got to say I'm blown away by it. The whole area is astounding and is living proof that development can be for the benefit of everyone... I absolutely love it ❤️

Lovely place to go for a walk on a sunny day. Plenty of shops and food places. Great place to hang out with family and friends.

Always great for a walk, drink, food or particularly The body shop! Best sunsets ever!

Lovely little shopping centre for kids and wife. I go for the pictures I can take around the area.

Lovely waterfront with plenty of different amenities available. Parking available at the Lowry outlet and reasonably priced.

Not been for two years and it looks like nothing has changed, just less shops than before and they now charge you for parking there, will be a while before we go again. ***Update after reply*** You used to get free parking when you spent over £5.00 within the shopping mall, this was great as it gave you time to shop, stop to eat or take a walk outside, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon. Now it was a quick in and out to reduce the parking charges. What about re-introducing this system?

Not many shops left :( shame as it was a lovely centre to visit. Hopefully that they will return post pandemic. Ponden mill was the only shop restricting number of shoppers despite lifting of restrictions I think they allowed 7 customers in but as a family of 4 we just walked by :(

Very nice building architecture. Recommended for street photography.

Nice view during nights, spectacular lights.

I'm sure when it's open it's great, however on the day we went it was very disappointing!

Wonderful experience. Great for walk, drink or food. Modern urban space with something to check in every corner.
