The Cube

Walk down Wharfside Street towards the canal and you'll spot it immediately: an actual glass cube jutting out over the water like something from a sci-fi film. Inside, it's a proper multi-use space that shifts between art installations, exhibitions, live events and conferences. The real magic is the flexibility of it—one week you're catching an exhibition, the next there's a private event happening, and the whole time you've got those canal views working overtime. It's become a proper focal point for the Brindleyplace area, where locals actually want to hang about rather than just pass through.
