The Lawn - Hardman
Square, Spinningfield
The Lawn area in Hardman Square is
a public realm that offers a number of attractions
including restaurants, bars, as well as a variety of
outdoor events throughout the year.
 Over the years the lawn has
gone through a number of changes and in 2017 work
started on a new building along its southern
edge. Sheppard Robson have designed what
they are calling "The Field" which they describe
as, "... a celebration of green space in
the city; a cutting-edge, but inherently
sustainable destination, with exciting bars
and restaurants, interlinking footpaths and
planted areas." The main feature
of the development will be The Ivy restaurant in a
four-storey, timber framed building that was , "...
greened and softened with landscaped ledges
and trellaces, tiered seating and street
furniture, adding some ever-needed
public green space to the urban layout of
Manchester city centre."

Some images from the construction phase.          ***************************** The images below show the Lawn in previous years. The Lawn Club used to occupy the
southern end of the lawn. It described itself
as, "... A quintessentially British retreat
in the heart of the city serving premium,
locally sourced seasonal food and drink. ...
this is a place to relax and grab a coffee, meet
the girls for cocktails, enjoy a craft beer with
your bessie or party till the wee small hours
with the whole gang."
     Across the Lawn from the Lawn Club
is the Long Bar which claims to be, "... one of
Manchester's favourite summer bars serving classic
summer cocktails, bottled beers and wines to the
masses who have flocked to claim a bar stool at
our aptly named Long Bar. Hang on our terrace or
lounge on The Lawns of Spinningfields."
