Part interactive gallery, part surreal playground – SUPERMASSIVE has crash landed on the rooftop of Depot Mayfield.

This is a self-guided, open-world adventure built for curious minds of all ages. Expect multi-sensory art, musical machines, AI characters, and projection-mapped puzzles – all brought to life through your interactions. It’s a vision of tech that connects, not isolates, swapping passive spectating for playful exploration.

By day, it’s a hands-on digital playground – kids very much welcome. By night, it shifts gear into an adults-only experience, tailor-made for dates, mates or solo wandering. The rooftop café-bar stays open throughout, slinging drinks and snacks from sunrise to starlight. Even the bar invites play, featuring a sound-reactive fountain and a climbable lighthouse. Pints and vertical exploration? What could possibly go wrong.

There’s no fixed path, no set time. Most people stay 40 to 90 minutes, but it’s up to you to set your own pace. No objective. Not a show. Not a screen. Just full sensory immersion as you become a creative cell in a living system.

Just minutes from Manchester Piccadilly, SUPERMASSIVE takes over Depot Mayfield’s rooftop – the same site that’s hosted everything from The Warehouse Project to MIF. Downstairs? Freight Island. Think of it as a ready made night out: Play up top, party down below.

SUPERMASSIVE is bold, surreal, and could well leave Manchester’s many so-called ‘immersive experiences’ blinking awkwardly in comparison.
