Hidden gems

The theatre, located in the New Adelphi Building on our Peel Park campus, has an exciting events calendar with live music, art, comedy and performance events. With work on show from established, international touring companies, to emerging artists and our own students, we are proud to host a diverse programme with something for everyone.

At its heart, our vision is committed to nurturing the emerging talents of our graduates, supporting the work of our postgraduates and fostering partnerships with regional, national and international artists.

Salford Museum and Art Gallery was the UK’s ‘first free public library’, which opened in January 1850. The building was a mansion house known as Lark Hill, which had been built in the 1790s and has given its name to the museum’s famous Lark Hill Place; a Victorian street within the museum.

Today, Salford Museum and Art Gallery presents an exciting programme of permanent displays and changing contemporary exhibitions from its home adjacent to our Peel Building on Peel Park campus. We’d also recommend a visit to the gift shop, which showcases work from local artists and designers, and don’t forget to sample one of the café’s homemade cakes!

ON CAMPUS

NEW ADELPHI THEATRE

Peel Park was the first public park to open in the United Kingdom funded entirely by the people’s subscription. Created in 1846, it was free to use and brought all Salford residents together. Benefitting from a £1.6 million transformation, the park provides a beautiful green space to relax in outside of lessons.

Civil Engineering student OUR unique additive and digital manufacturing hub is made up of the Maker Space and the Morson Engine Room, and is funded by the Salford-based Morson Group - a global leader in technical recruitment and engineering excellence. In this space you can acquire real-world engineering and digital fabrication skills alongside handson training, providing the experience that employers want and need in industry.

THE MAKER SPACE

The Maker Space is an open lab for students to explore digital fabrication technologies. Students have access to 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters and clean working spaces for assembling projects. There is also a dedicated computer suite for 2D and 3D design (CAD) and electronics workbenches.

THE MORSON ENGINE ROOM

The Morson Engine Room is home to heavy duty, industrial grade machinery and equipped with a waterjet cutter, metal additive manufacturing, large format 3D printing, stateof-the-art digital and optical microscopes and reverse engineering metrology instrumentation. Guided by skilled technicians, students can learn how to use and operate these machines to build skills in relation to design for manufacture, assembly and inspection.
