Our location
Northern Quarter
Situated in the heart of The Northern Quarter, Afflecks is strategically placed within Manchester’s commercial core, between Piccadilly Gateway, Ancoats and Shudehill. The Northern Quarter represents a key piece in the city centre jigsaw, an area different in character and function to any other part of the city centre. There are an estimated 610 businesses in the area with around 4,400 staff in creative industries, from streetwear brands to design studios. There are very few locations elsewhere in the UK that are able to boast this concentration of both creative and cultural business, which has made The Northern Quarter the infamously hipster hotspot it is today.
