Essential information

How to get here

Please walk, wheel, cycle and use public transport where possible.

By CityLink -  CityLink is a step free walking route from Piccadilly Station through Ancoats, New Islington and Holt Town Tram Stop to the Etihad Campus.  The route will be stewarded before and after events. 

By Metrolink -  The Metrolink tram system is a great way of accessing the Campus via the Ashton-Under-Lyne or Etihad Campus lines. Disembark at the Etihad Campus stop. The journey takes approximately 8 minutes from Piccadilly Station and trams run every 12 minutes. The Etihad Campus tram stop is approx. 5 minutes walk from us. The tram stop is accessed by stairs and by lift 

When multiple events take place on the Campus the route will be busier than usual so allow extra time. 

By Bus - There are several bus stops dotted around the campus with great service from across the City. Local buses include numbers 53, 216, 230, 231

By Cycle - There are over 500 cycle parking spaces at the Etihad Campus. Greater Manchester now also offers the option to hire bikes. Through the Beryl app, you can locate and unlock your bike, get from A to B, then safely lock your hired bike up again.

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.

You can take a look at the cycle paths around the Etihad Campus here just scroll in on the area and discover routes to get you to the Campus. 

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. 

Catering

We can facilitate a range of different options for you thanks to our in-venue catering team. Whether it’s a hot or cold buffet or a selection of breakfast items for an early meeting.

We can offer in-room catering or our informal Commonwealth cafe area is also available, offering a range of light meals and refreshments. Why not follow up your day’s business with a dining experience at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City Football Club?

Conveniently located a stone’s throw from Manchester Regional Arena, options can be discussed as part of a package.
