The Etihad Campus is an incredible hub of leisure, sport, entertainment and events. Through our own sporting events and those of our neighbours Manchester City Football Club and now the Co-op Live, the Campus may be welcoming thousands of spectators to events at any one time.

The Campus will therefore be busier than usual at certain periods. You'll find below some useful information about the events scheduled and also travel to the centre during these times to help you plan extra travel time should you need it. There is also a useful Travel Map at the bottom of the page that you can download and view.

There are two bike hire points near the south-west corner of the Etihad stadium, on Ashton New Road. To find out more about Manchester's cycle hire scheme that operates in the area, click here.

By car - parking will be in the Blue car park (Gate 2) accessible via Alan Turing Way. Show your activity booking confirmation email to the stewards on the gate and follow the route around to your nearest space. For National Squash Centre and Regional Arena users, only a limited amount of car parking is available at Gate 13 so we strongly recommend the Blue car park (Gate 2) is used.
