International TravellersBy AirNearest airports:
The nearest airport to the venue is Manchester International, which is well served by all the major airlines, including budget airlines Ryan Air and Jet2. From the airport, trains to the city centre run every 15 minutes into Piccadilly train station; the average journey time is 20 minutes. Piccadilly train station is a 5 minute taxi journey or tram journey to the venue. Alternatively you can jump into a taxi from the airport direct to the venue, which costs less than £20. UK TravellersGBSEx recommends that you take the train to Manchester. Parking is limited and can be expensive unless you are using one of the hotels offering a deal. Once here, the venue, all hotels and the vibrant city centre are all on your doorstep and easily walked.... plus you get to sleep on the train home! We highly recommend leaving you car in a cheaper car park on the outskirts of town for the weekend and either getting a taxi or a tram into the centre from there. We would recommend Hulme St Car Park which could also be walked to from the hotels and venue (15min) Hulme St NCP Tariff (open 24hrs)4hrs - £3 By TrainNearest train stations:
Most major cities in the UK have direct train services into Manchester. For information on tickets and timetables contact National Rail Enquiries:
By CarManchester is positioned in the middle of the UK and so is very well-connected by motorway and road networks. The M6 links Manchester to Birmingham and London in the South, and Lancaster in the North, the M62 east to Leeds and west to Liverpool, the M56 to Chester, the M61 to Bolton and Preston, the M66 to Bury and the M67 out towards Sheffield. You can use our widget below for precise driving directions from your address:
ParkingParking is often difficult around the Town Hall. You may be able to find a space in one of the ‘Pay and Display’ parking bays. Alternatively, there are a number of car parks in the city centre operated by NCP (NCP Queen Street M2 5JB is probably the closest). We recommend Hulme St Car Park which is a short distance form the venue but reasonable (see above). Or, Contact NCP direct to find out car park details and current charges:
By CoachThe cheapest form of transport into Manchester from outside the city is likely to be the coach service. National Express offers many services, which arrive into Chorlton Street Coach Station in the city centre. The coach station is a 15 minute walk from the Town Hall. For further information contact National Express:
