Accessible Manchester

Manchester is an ambitious city and a city of firsts, from splitting the atom and building the first programmable computer to introducing the first professional football league. Once an industrial powerhouse, it has transformed into the vibrant and exciting conurbation it is today. 

We are committed to making the city increasingly accessible, and creating welcoming, enjoyable experiences for everyone. We want your delegates to easily find businesses, experiences and travel options that meet their access needs so they can plan their trip with confidence and fully engage in everything your conference or event has to offer.
