Getting To Manchester
Whether you’re traveling from within the UK,
somewhere in Europe, or even further afield,
getting to Manchester shouldn’t cause you any issues.
Getting to CitizenCon
Located at the Manchester Central Convention Complex,
here are some travel tips to get you where you want to go!
What To Wear
“There’s no such thing as bad weather,
only unsuitable clothing.” - Alfred Wainwright
After The Event
Manchester caters to all tastes of
nightlife, with the city split into a
few distinct areas.
History & Museums
Manchester wears its industrial history on its
sleeve. If you want to find out more, a walk
around can tell so much.
Food
Manchester’s dining landscape is a vibrant mix of traditional
and contemporary, reflecting its rich cultural tapestry. From
traditional English dishes to international cuisine, we're sure
anyone will find something that will suit their tastes!
From its intricate ship canals to its architecturally rich tapestry steeped in history, Manchester offers plenty to do and see. While many of the city’s iconic buildings date back to the Industrial Revolution, they house a thoroughly modern metropolitan culture that warmly welcomes visitors from all corners of the world.
Car
Nearby motorway links connect Manchester to pretty much everywhere in the country, so driving is a great way to get to the city. The easiest way is to set a sat nav for Great Ducie Street or Manchester Arena and park at the carpark across the road (the old Boddingtons brewery). It’s an affordable option for all-day parking, and the venue is only a 15/20-minute walk away. If you get lost or don’t have a sat nav, just follow signs for the city center and get on the inner ring road – it follows the perimeter of the city and will eventually take you right past the car park.
Alternatively, you can park at the venue itself if you’d prefer.
Train
Manchester Piccadilly connects to London Euston via direct line and can take as little as two hours station-to-station. Other nearby cities like Leeds, Liverpool, and countless other smaller towns have direct connections too.
Bus/Tram
If you’re staying on the outskirts of the city, it’s easiest to get to and from the venue by bus or the Metrolink tram system. Just look for stops nearby, as most routes head through the city center. The city’s two main bus stations and several tram stations are close to the venue.
Coach
Manchester has two coach stations, Chorlton Street and Shudehill. Both have Metrolink stations and bus stops nearby and are within walking distance to the venue too.
Plane
For international visitors arriving by plane, Manchester Airport is actually quite far out of the city. Luckily, direct buses, trains, rideshare options, taxis, and trams regularly shuttle back and forth.
CitizenCon 2954 is being held at the Manchester Central Convention Complex on the edge of the city center. Although its name was changed over a decade ago, it’s still known as the ‘G-Mex’ by many stubborn Mancunians, so don’t worry if you hear it referred to as such.
Metro Rail
However you arrive in Manchester, the Metrolink tram system is the easiest way to the venue. If you’re arriving at Manchester Piccadilly, head downstairs from the main concourse to the tram stop. The closest stop to the venue is St Peter’s Square.
Free buses operate around the city and taxis and Uber are available too.
Walking
Manchester city center isn’t a huge place, so if you’re able (and it’s not raining), a quick stroll is easy enough too. It takes around 15 minutes from Piccadilly station.
The weather in Manchester in October is moderately chilly and typically wet, so a waterproof coat or umbrella and hat are highly recommended. The venue has full cloakroom facilities, so don’t worry about overdressing.
If you’re planning on going out afterward, just make sure you’re presentable and not wearing shorts, and you’ll be fine for most places on the list below.
For those of you in cosplay, we’ll provide a cospitality lounge for working out attire needs.
Check out these self-guided walking routes to see the various parts of the city. Manchester has a wealth of museums and public spaces too, a handful of which can be found below.
John Ryland’s Library
A stunning example of Victorian Gothic architecture, the John Ryland’s Library boasts one of the world's finest collections of rare books and manuscripts. The Historic Reading Room, with its vaulted ceiling and stained-glass windows, is particularly breathtaking to see in real life.
Museum of Science and Industry
The Museum of Science and Industry is a beacon of innovation, showcasing the city’s pioneering role in the Industrial Revolution and its ongoing contributions to science and technology.

The Portico Library and Gallery (also known as The Portico or Portico Library) is a neoclassical gem offering a rich collection of literature and engaging community programs. Established as a subscription library in 1806, the Portico is renowned for its cultural significance and historical architecture.
National Football Museum
The National Football Museum in Manchester is the largest football museum in the world, celebrating the history and culture of the sport. A must-visit for any football fan, it houses an unparalleled collection of memorabilia, from historic kits to iconic trophies.
People’s History Museum

Nestled in Whitworth Park, the Whitworth art gallery is a serene escape within the bustling city of Manchester. Housing over 55,000 works including modern and historic fine art and prints, the esteemed gallery offers a diverse range of visual art experiences in a structure that, in itself, is a testament to architectural beauty.
Imperial War Museum North
Housed in an architectural marvel purpose-built to tell powerful stories of over a century of war, the IWM North showcases the effects of conflicts on people and society in an immersive experience.
For some posh nosh, splurge at Mana, The French, WOOD Manchester by Simon Wood or Tattu Manchester. Reservations are required, and smart casual dress is preferred.
Masons & Sam's Chop House - Two shining examples of the best of British cuisine. Showcasing elevated yet affordable favorites, the menus revolve around seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.
Curry is one thing that Mancunians adore in some form and is one thing done genuinely well in Manchester. Here is a selection of Indian restaurants (non-exhaustive list!), ranging from contemporary eateries that offer a modern twist on old-time favorites to more traditional establishments that seek to honor the authenticity of classic recipes, and vibrant joints that reflect the dynamic Indian street food scene: Sangam Manchester, Wah Ji Wah, Rajdoot Tandoori, Bundobust, This & That, Asha's and Delhi House Cafe.
Almost Famous or Honest Burgers - In a city center where there are now almost as many burger joints as there are pubs, you can't go wrong with either. Honest Burgers' patties are made daily in their own butchery, with great British beef, served alongside their famous Rosemary chips (yes, chips, not fries). Almost Famous burgers were born from a need for a super-juicy, dripping-down-your-arms, no-nonsense burger; get a load of their Phoenix fries while you're at it!
Hawksmoor & Fazenda - For the Carnivorous Rexes and Reginas, enjoy steaks of the very best dry-aged beef at Hawksmoor and wash them down with award-winning cocktails or a selection of wines from the wine list, designed to perfectly complement the different cuts of meat. Alternately, Fazenda is a Brazilian & Argentinian restaurant with Rodizio service, where one can indulge in all-you-can-eat steaks and skewered meats, paired with exquisite wines and carefully curated cocktails.
Tokyo Ramen - There might be ramen restaurants aplenty in Manchester, but this is absolutely one of the best ones! An unassuming eatery with great vibes, Tokyo Ramen is walk-in only, and their koji fried chicken has the regulars flocking to the spot!
Dishoom - Zyloh's favorite restaurant in Manchester. A trendy walk-in restaurant that pays homage to the old Irani cafés of Bombay. Open for breakfast, lunch, afternoon chai, dinner, and late tipples, enjoy a lovingly curated menu of Bombay comfort food and delicious cocktails in elegant surroundings.
Mackie Mayor is the perfect dining spot when you just can't decide on what to eat (or when you’re with a group of friends who can't settle on a particular restaurant). This beautiful Grade II listed building is home to varied high-quality food stalls, and dedicated beer, wine, and spirit bars. Just take a seat, order a selection of plates from different vendors, and enjoy!
Society - Society is Manchester’s new social culinary adventure; a chill destination with stands doling out global street foods, craft beer, and cocktails.
Escape to Freight Island - This vibrant hub serves up a feast for the senses with its stellar lineup of food and beverages, complemented by a lively array of entertainment and happenings. You'll find an abundant choice of eateries, food trucks, and bars offering delicacies ranging from Manchester’s beloved burgers to classic American pies.
Wright's Fish & Chip Shop - Sometimes, only a 'chippy tea' will do. Get your fix at Wright's, where crispy batter meets succulent fish - the quintessential British experience. And like any proper Northern chippy, they have gravy.
Nando's - We'd be remiss if we didn't suggest a cheeky Nando's. Why cheeky? Because a visit to Nando's can be a bit naughty, a bit unexpected, or a bit of a treat. A fast-casual chain that specializes in Portuguese flame-grilled chicken, enjoy it with peri peri sauce of varying levels of spiciness.
See you in Manchester!

Von seinen verschlungenen Schiffskanälen bis hin zu seiner geschichtsträchtigen Architektur hat Manchester viel zu bieten. Viele der ikonischen Gebäude der Stadt stammen aus der Zeit der industriellen Revolution, aber sie beherbergen auch eine durch und durch moderne Großstadtkultur, die Besucher aus aller Welt herzlich willkommen heißt.
Auto
Die nahegelegenen Autobahnen verbinden Manchester mit fast allen Teilen des Landes, daher ist das Auto eine gute Möglichkeit, die Stadt zu erreichen. Am einfachsten ist es, das Navi auf Great Ducie Street oder Manchester Arena einzustellen und auf dem Parkplatz auf der anderen Straßenseite zu parken (die alte Boddingtons-Brauerei). Das ist eine günstige Möglichkeit, den ganzen Tag zu parken, und der Veranstaltungsort ist nur 15/20 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Wenn du dich verfahren hast oder kein Navi hast, folge einfach den Schildern in Richtung Stadtzentrum und fahre auf den inneren Ring - er folgt dem Stadtrand und führt dich direkt am Parkplatz vorbei.
Alternativ kannst du auch direkt am Veranstaltungsort parken, wenn du das möchtest.
Zug
Manchester Piccadilly ist über eine Direktverbindung mit London Euston verbunden und braucht nur zwei Stunden von Bahnhof zu Bahnhof. Auch andere Städte in der Nähe wie Leeds, Liverpool und unzählige andere kleinere Städte haben direkte Verbindungen.
Bus/Tram
Wenn du am Rande der Stadt wohnst, ist es am einfachsten, mit dem Bus oder der Metrolink-Straßenbahn zum Veranstaltungsort zu fahren. Halte einfach nach Haltestellen in der Nähe Ausschau, denn die meisten Routen führen durch das Stadtzentrum. Die beiden wichtigsten Busbahnhöfe der Stadt und mehrere Straßenbahnhaltestellen befinden sich in der Nähe des Veranstaltungsortes.
Bus
Manchester hat zwei Busbahnhöfe, Chorlton Street und Shudehill. Beide haben Metrolink-Stationen und Bushaltestellen in der Nähe und sind auch zu Fuß vom Veranstaltungsort aus zu erreichen.
Flugzeug
Für internationale Besucher, die mit dem Flugzeug anreisen, liegt der Flughafen Manchester ziemlich weit außerhalb der Stadt. Zum Glück gibt es direkte Busse, Züge, Mitfahrgelegenheiten, Taxis und Straßenbahnen, die regelmäßig hin und her pendeln.
Die CitizenCon 2954 findet im Manchester Central Convention Complex am Rande des Stadtzentrums statt. Obwohl der Name vor über einem Jahrzehnt geändert wurde, wird er von vielen hartnäckigen Mancunians immer noch "G-Mex" genannt, also mach dir keine Sorgen, wenn er so genannt wird.
Metro Rail
Wie auch immer du in Manchester ankommst, die Metrolink-Straßenbahn ist der einfachste Weg zum Veranstaltungsort. Wenn du in Manchester Piccadilly ankommst, gehst du von der Haupthalle die Treppe hinunter zur Straßenbahnhaltestelle. Die nächstgelegene Haltestelle zum Veranstaltungsort ist St. Peter's Square.
In der ganzen Stadt verkehren kostenlose Busse und auch Taxis und Uber sind verfügbar.
Zu Fuß
Das Stadtzentrum von Manchester ist nicht sehr groß, wenn du also in der Lage bist (und es nicht regnet), ist ein kurzer Spaziergang kein Problem. Vom Bahnhof Piccadilly aus brauchst du etwa 15 Minuten.
Das Wetter in Manchester ist im Oktober mäßig kühl und typischerweise nass, daher sind ein wasserdichter Mantel oder Regenschirm und ein Hut sehr zu empfehlen. Der Veranstaltungsort verfügt über eine vollständige Garderobe, also mach dir keine Sorgen, dass du dich zu dick anziehen musst.
Wenn du vorhast, danach auszugehen, musst du nur darauf achten, dass du gut aussiehst und keine Shorts trägst, dann bist du an den meisten Orten auf der Liste unten gut aufgehoben.
Für diejenigen unter euch, die sich verkleiden, stellen wir eine Hospitality Lounge zur Verfügung, in der ihr euch umziehen könnt.
Schau dir diese selbstgeführten Wanderrouten an, um die verschiedenen Teile der Stadt kennenzulernen. Manchester hat auch eine Vielzahl von Museen und öffentlichen Plätzen, von denen du eine Handvoll unten findest.

Bei Mana, The French, WOOD Manchester by Simon Wood oder Tattu Manchester kannst du dir ein feines Essen gönnen. Eine Reservierung ist erforderlich und legere Kleidung ist erwünscht.
Masons & Sam's Chop House - Zwei leuchtende Beispiele für das Beste der britischen Küche. Auf den Speisekarten stehen gehobene und dennoch erschwingliche Gerichte, die sich um saisonale und lokale Zutaten drehen.
Curry ist eine Sache, die die Mancunians in irgendeiner Form lieben und die in Manchester wirklich gut gemacht ist. Hier ist eine Auswahl indischer Restaurants (die Liste ist nicht vollständig!), die von zeitgenössischen Restaurants, die einen modernen Twist auf altbewährte Gerichte bieten, über traditionellere Lokale, die sich um die Authentizität klassischer Rezepte bemühen, bis hin zu pulsierenden Lokalen reichen, die die dynamische indische Street Food Szene widerspiegeln: Sangam Manchester, Wah Ji Wah, Rajdoot Tandoori, Bundobust, This & That, Asha's und Delhi House Cafe.
Almost Famous oder Honest Burgers - In einem Stadtzentrum, in dem es mittlerweile fast so viele Burgerläden wie Kneipen gibt, kannst du mit beiden nichts falsch machen. Die Patties von Honest Burgers werden täglich in der eigenen Metzgerei aus gutem britischen Rindfleisch hergestellt und zusammen mit den berühmten Rosmarin-Pommes (ja, Pommes, nicht Fritten) serviert. Die Burger von Almost Famous wurden aus dem Bedürfnis heraus geboren, einen super-saftigen Burger zu machen, der einem die Arme runterrinnt, und zwar ganz ohne Schnickschnack.
Hawksmoor & Fazenda - Für die fleischfressenden Rexes und Reginas gibt es im Hawksmoor Steaks aus bestem Dry-Aged-Rindfleisch, die du mit preisgekrönten Cocktails oder einer Auswahl an Weinen aus der Weinkarte genießen kannst, die perfekt zu den verschiedenen Fleischsorten passen. Das Fazenda ist ein brasilianisches und argentinisches Restaurant mit Rodizio-Service, in dem du Steaks und Fleischspieße zum Sattessen genießen kannst, gepaart mit erlesenen Weinen und sorgfältig ausgewählten Cocktails.
Tokyo Ramen - Ramen-Restaurants gibt es in Manchester zuhauf, aber dieses ist definitiv eines der besten! Das Tokyo Ramen ist ein unauffälliges Lokal mit großartiger Atmosphäre, in das man nur im Vorbeigehen hineinkommt und dessen Koji-Brathuhn die Stammgäste in Scharen anlockt!
Dishoom - Zylohs Lieblingsrestaurant in Manchester. Ein trendiges, begehbares Restaurant, das eine Hommage an die alten iranischen Cafés in Bombay ist. Hier kannst du frühstücken, zu Mittag essen, nachmittags Chai trinken, zu Abend essen und spät noch etwas trinken. Genieße eine liebevoll zusammengestellte Speisekarte mit bombayischem Komfort und leckeren Cocktails in eleganter Umgebung.
Das Mackie Mayor ist der perfekte Ort, wenn du dich nicht entscheiden kannst, was du essen möchtest (oder wenn du dich mit einer Gruppe von Freunden nicht auf ein bestimmtes Restaurant einigen kannst). Das wunderschöne, denkmalgeschützte Gebäude beherbergt verschiedene hochwertige Essensstände sowie Bier-, Wein- und Spirituosenbars. Nimm einfach Platz, bestelle eine Auswahl an Gerichten von verschiedenen Anbietern und genieße!
Society - Society ist Manchesters neues soziales kulinarisches Abenteuer; ein chilliges Ziel mit Ständen, die globales Street Food, Craft Beer und Cocktails anbieten.
Escape to Freight Island - Dieser pulsierende Treffpunkt ist ein Fest für die Sinne mit einem erstklassigen Angebot an Speisen und Getränken, das durch ein lebhaftes Unterhaltungsprogramm und Veranstaltungen ergänzt wird. Hier findest du eine große Auswahl an Restaurants, Foodtrucks und Bars, die Köstlichkeiten von Manchesters beliebten Burgern bis hin zu klassischen amerikanischen Pasteten anbieten.
Wright's Fish & Chip Shop - Manchmal muss es einfach nur ein "Chippy Tea" sein. Bei Wright's triffst du auf knusprigen Teig und saftigen Fisch - der Inbegriff des britischen Genusses. Und wie es sich für eine richtige Chippy im Norden gehört, gibt es auch Soße.
Nando's - Wir wären nachlässig, wenn wir nicht ein freches Nando's empfehlen würden. Warum frech? Weil ein Besuch bei Nando's ein bisschen frech sein kann, ein bisschen unerwartet, oder ein bisschen ein Genuss. Die Fast-Casual-Kette hat sich auf portugiesisches Hähnchen vom Flammengrill spezialisiert, das du mit unterschiedlich scharfer Peri-Peri-Sauce genießen kannst.
Wir sehen uns in Manchester!
Auto
Die nahegelegenen Autobahnen verbinden Manchester mit fast allen Teilen des Landes, daher ist das Auto eine gute Möglichkeit, die Stadt zu erreichen. Am einfachsten ist es, das Navi auf Great Ducie Street oder Manchester Arena einzustellen und auf dem Parkplatz auf der anderen Straßenseite zu parken (die alte Boddingtons-Brauerei). Das ist eine günstige Möglichkeit, den ganzen Tag zu parken, und der Veranstaltungsort ist nur 15/20 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Wenn du dich verfahren hast oder kein Navi hast, folge einfach den Schildern in Richtung Stadtzentrum und fahre auf den inneren Ring - er folgt dem Stadtrand und führt dich direkt am Parkplatz vorbei.
Alternativ kannst du auch direkt am Veranstaltungsort parken, wenn du das möchtest.
Zug
Manchester Piccadilly ist über eine Direktverbindung mit London Euston verbunden und braucht nur zwei Stunden von Bahnhof zu Bahnhof. Auch andere Städte in der Nähe wie Leeds, Liverpool und unzählige andere kleinere Städte haben direkte Verbindungen.
Bus/Tram
Wenn du am Rande der Stadt wohnst, ist es am einfachsten, mit dem Bus oder der Metrolink-Straßenbahn zum Veranstaltungsort zu fahren. Halte einfach nach Haltestellen in der Nähe Ausschau, denn die meisten Routen führen durch das Stadtzentrum. Die beiden wichtigsten Busbahnhöfe der Stadt und mehrere Straßenbahnhaltestellen befinden sich in der Nähe des Veranstaltungsortes.
Bus
Manchester hat zwei Busbahnhöfe, Chorlton Street und Shudehill. Beide haben Metrolink-Stationen und Bushaltestellen in der Nähe und sind auch zu Fuß vom Veranstaltungsort aus zu erreichen.
Flugzeug
Für internationale Besucher, die mit dem Flugzeug anreisen, liegt der Flughafen Manchester ziemlich weit außerhalb der Stadt. Zum Glück gibt es direkte Busse, Züge, Mitfahrgelegenheiten, Taxis und Straßenbahnen, die regelmäßig hin und her pendeln.
Die CitizenCon 2954 findet im Manchester Central Convention Complex am Rande des Stadtzentrums statt. Obwohl der Name vor über einem Jahrzehnt geändert wurde, wird er von vielen hartnäckigen Mancunians immer noch "G-Mex" genannt, also mach dir keine Sorgen, wenn er so genannt wird.
Metro Rail
Wie auch immer du in Manchester ankommst, die Metrolink-Straßenbahn ist der einfachste Weg zum Veranstaltungsort. Wenn du in Manchester Piccadilly ankommst, gehst du von der Haupthalle die Treppe hinunter zur Straßenbahnhaltestelle. Die nächstgelegene Haltestelle zum Veranstaltungsort ist St. Peter's Square.
In der ganzen Stadt verkehren kostenlose Busse und auch Taxis und Uber sind verfügbar.
Zu Fuß
Das Stadtzentrum von Manchester ist nicht sehr groß, wenn du also in der Lage bist (und es nicht regnet), ist ein kurzer Spaziergang kein Problem. Vom Bahnhof Piccadilly aus brauchst du etwa 15 Minuten.
Das Wetter in Manchester ist im Oktober mäßig kühl und typischerweise nass, daher sind ein wasserdichter Mantel oder Regenschirm und ein Hut sehr zu empfehlen. Der Veranstaltungsort verfügt über eine vollständige Garderobe, also mach dir keine Sorgen, dass du dich zu dick anziehen musst.
Wenn du vorhast, danach auszugehen, musst du nur darauf achten, dass du gut aussiehst und keine Shorts trägst, dann bist du an den meisten Orten auf der Liste unten gut aufgehoben.
Für diejenigen unter euch, die sich verkleiden, stellen wir eine Hospitality Lounge zur Verfügung, in der ihr euch umziehen könnt.
Schau dir diese selbstgeführten Wanderrouten an, um die verschiedenen Teile der Stadt kennenzulernen. Manchester hat auch eine Vielzahl von Museen und öffentlichen Plätzen, von denen du eine Handvoll unten findest.

Die John Ryland's Library ist ein beeindruckendes Beispiel für viktorianische Gotik und beherbergt eine der weltweit besten Sammlungen seltener Bücher und Manuskripte.

Welcome to Manchester!

Getting To Manchester
Whether you’re traveling from within the UK,
somewhere in Europe, or even further afield,
getting to Manchester shouldn’t cause you any issues.
Getting to CitizenCon
Located at the Manchester Central Convention Complex,
here are some travel tips to get you where you want to go!
What To Wear
“There’s no such thing as bad weather,
only unsuitable clothing.” - Alfred Wainwright
After The Event
Manchester caters to all tastes of
nightlife, with the city split into a
few distinct areas.
History & Museums
Manchester wears its industrial history on its
sleeve. If you want to find out more, a walk
around can tell so much.
Food
Manchester’s dining landscape is a vibrant mix of traditional
and contemporary, reflecting its rich cultural tapestry. From
traditional English dishes to international cuisine, we're sure
anyone will find something that will suit their tastes!
From its intricate ship canals to its architecturally rich tapestry steeped in history, Manchester offers plenty to do and see. While many of the city’s iconic buildings date back to the Industrial Revolution, they house a thoroughly modern metropolitan culture that warmly welcomes visitors from all corners of the world.
Car
Nearby motorway links connect Manchester to pretty much everywhere in the country, so driving is a great way to get to the city. The easiest way is to set a sat nav for Great Ducie Street or Manchester Arena and park at the carpark across the road (the old Boddingtons brewery). It’s an affordable option for all-day parking, and the venue is only a 15/20-minute walk away. If you get lost or don’t have a sat nav, just follow signs for the city center and get on the inner ring road – it follows the perimeter of the city and will eventually take you right past the car park.
Alternatively, you can park at the venue itself if you’d prefer.
Train
Manchester Piccadilly connects to London Euston via direct line and can take as little as two hours station-to-station. Other nearby cities like Leeds, Liverpool, and countless other smaller towns have direct connections too.
Bus/Tram
If you’re staying on the outskirts of the city, it’s easiest to get to and from the venue by bus or the Metrolink tram system. Just look for stops nearby, as most routes head through the city center. The city’s two main bus stations and several tram stations are close to the venue.
Coach
Manchester has two coach stations, Chorlton Street and Shudehill. Both have Metrolink stations and bus stops nearby and are within walking distance to the venue too.
Plane
For international visitors arriving by plane, Manchester Airport is actually quite far out of the city. Luckily, direct buses, trains, rideshare options, taxis, and trams regularly shuttle back and forth.
CitizenCon 2954 is being held at the Manchester Central Convention Complex on the edge of the city center. Although its name was changed over a decade ago, it’s still known as the ‘G-Mex’ by many stubborn Mancunians, so don’t worry if you hear it referred to as such.
Metro Rail
However you arrive in Manchester, the Metrolink tram system is the easiest way to the venue. If you’re arriving at Manchester Piccadilly, head downstairs from the main concourse to the tram stop. The closest stop to the venue is St Peter’s Square.
Free buses operate around the city and taxis and Uber are available too.
Walking
Manchester city center isn’t a huge place, so if you’re able (and it’s not raining), a quick stroll is easy enough too. It takes around 15 minutes from Piccadilly station.
The weather in Manchester in October is moderately chilly and typically wet, so a waterproof coat or umbrella and hat are highly recommended. The venue has full cloakroom facilities, so don’t worry about overdressing.
If you’re planning on going out afterward, just make sure you’re presentable and not wearing shorts, and you’ll be fine for most places on the list below.
For those of you in cosplay, we’ll provide a cospitality lounge for working out attire needs.
Check out these self-guided walking routes to see the various parts of the city. Manchester has a wealth of museums and public spaces too, a handful of which can be found below.
John Ryland’s Library
A stunning example of Victorian Gothic architecture, the John Ryland’s Library boasts one of the world's finest collections of rare books and manuscripts. The Historic Reading Room, with its vaulted ceiling and stained-glass windows, is particularly breathtaking to see in real life.
Museum of Science and Industry
The Museum of Science and Industry is a beacon of innovation, showcasing the city’s pioneering role in the Industrial Revolution and its ongoing contributions to science and technology.

Manchester Museum

The Portico Library and Gallery (also known as The Portico or Portico Library) is a neoclassical gem offering a rich collection of literature and engaging community programs. Established as a subscription library in 1806, the Portico is renowned for its cultural significance and historical architecture.
National Football Museum
The National Football Museum in Manchester is the largest football museum in the world, celebrating the history and culture of the sport. A must-visit for any football fan, it houses an unparalleled collection of memorabilia, from historic kits to iconic trophies.
People’s History Museum
The People’s History Museum is the UK’s national museum of democracy, chronicling the fight for democratic rights in Britain. It offers a compelling look at the history of working-class movements and their quest for equality through engaging exhibits and historical artifacts.

Nestled in Whitworth Park, the Whitworth art gallery is a serene escape within the bustling city of Manchester. Housing over 55,000 works including modern and historic fine art and prints, the esteemed gallery offers a diverse range of visual art experiences in a structure that, in itself, is a testament to architectural beauty.
Imperial War Museum North
Housed in an architectural marvel purpose-built to tell powerful stories of over a century of war, the IWM North showcases the effects of conflicts on people and society in an immersive experience.
For some posh nosh, splurge at Mana, The French, WOOD Manchester by Simon Wood or Tattu Manchester. Reservations are required, and smart casual dress is preferred.
Masons & Sam's Chop House - Two shining examples of the best of British cuisine. Showcasing elevated yet affordable favorites, the menus revolve around seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.
Curry is one thing that Mancunians adore in some form and is one thing done genuinely well in Manchester. Here is a selection of Indian restaurants (non-exhaustive list!), ranging from contemporary eateries that offer a modern twist on old-time favorites to more traditional establishments that seek to honor the authenticity of classic recipes, and vibrant joints that reflect the dynamic Indian street food scene: Sangam Manchester, Wah Ji Wah, Rajdoot Tandoori, Bundobust, This & That, Asha's and Delhi House Cafe.
Almost Famous or Honest Burgers - In a city center where there are now almost as many burger joints as there are pubs, you can't go wrong with either. Honest Burgers' patties are made daily in their own butchery, with great British beef, served alongside their famous Rosemary chips (yes, chips, not fries). Almost Famous burgers were born from a need for a super-juicy, dripping-down-your-arms, no-nonsense burger; get a load of their Phoenix fries while you're at it!
Hawksmoor & Fazenda - For the Carnivorous Rexes and Reginas, enjoy steaks of the very best dry-aged beef at Hawksmoor and wash them down with award-winning cocktails or a selection of wines from the wine list, designed to perfectly complement the different cuts of meat. Alternately, Fazenda is a Brazilian & Argentinian restaurant with Rodizio service, where one can indulge in all-you-can-eat steaks and skewered meats, paired with exquisite wines and carefully curated cocktails.
Tokyo Ramen - There might be ramen restaurants aplenty in Manchester, but this is absolutely one of the best ones! An unassuming eatery with great vibes, Tokyo Ramen is walk-in only, and their koji fried chicken has the regulars flocking to the spot!
Dishoom - Zyloh's favorite restaurant in Manchester. A trendy walk-in restaurant that pays homage to the old Irani cafés of Bombay. Open for breakfast, lunch, afternoon chai, dinner, and late tipples, enjoy a lovingly curated menu of Bombay comfort food and delicious cocktails in elegant surroundings.
Mackie Mayor is the perfect dining spot when you just can't decide on what to eat (or when you’re with a group of friends who can't settle on a particular restaurant). This beautiful Grade II listed building is home to varied high-quality food stalls, and dedicated beer, wine, and spirit bars. Just take a seat, order a selection of plates from different vendors, and enjoy!
Society - Society is Manchester’s new social culinary adventure; a chill destination with stands doling out global street foods, craft beer, and cocktails.
Escape to Freight Island - This vibrant hub serves up a feast for the senses with its stellar lineup of food and beverages, complemented by a lively array of entertainment and happenings. You'll find an abundant choice of eateries, food trucks, and bars offering delicacies ranging from Manchester’s beloved burgers to classic American pies.
Wright's Fish & Chip Shop - Sometimes, only a 'chippy tea' will do. Get your fix at Wright's, where crispy batter meets succulent fish - the quintessential British experience. And like any proper Northern chippy, they have gravy.
Nando's - We'd be remiss if we didn't suggest a cheeky Nando's. Why cheeky? Because a visit to Nando's can be a bit naughty, a bit unexpected, or a bit of a treat. A fast-casual chain that specializes in Portuguese flame-grilled chicken, enjoy it with peri peri sauce of varying levels of spiciness.
See you in Manchester!
