Sitting within Civic – the town’s shopping centre – the hub will include space for food and drink on the ground floor with the first floor home to a mix of artist studio spaces and flexible areas for workshops, exhibitions, classes or community events.

On the second floor a new 200-seater performance space will provide a backdrop for a diverse range of performances.

Construction on the Culture Hub is due to commence this autumn with the opening in early 2027 and Kier understood to be lined-up for the job.

Joe Stockton, senior development manager from Muse, said: “Getting the green light for the new Culture Hub is a major milestone in our once in a generation plans to work with local people to transform Wythenshawe town centre.

“We look forward to getting started on construction later this year, which we hope the people of Wythenshawe will see as a significant sign of our intent to drive this project forward with their ongoing support.”
