Our 73rd Annual Exhibition will be held at the New Century Halls, Corporation Street, Manchester. There will be two floors of exhibits and the Halls provide a comfortable environment for visitors, with most of the space carpeted.

Directions

The Hall is at the junction of Corporation Street and Miller Street, next to the CIS tower. Access to the Exhibition is through the front entrance, facing Corporation Street. Corporation Street runs from Marks & Spencer to Victoria Station.

Note that the post code for New Century House does not give the correct location on Google Maps nor StreetMap.

There is plenty of car parking in the nearby area.
Take the train to Victoria Station only 3 minute walk from the Exhibition, to Piccadilly Station (15 minute walk), or to Deansgate Station (20 minute walk).

Metrolink trams will be running throughout the Exhibition from Bury, Altrincham, Eccles/Salford Quays, Piccadilly Station and G-Mex - alight at Victoria Station (or Shudehill Interchange and then follow the tram lines to Corporation Street).
Warning: the Metrolink lines in the City Centre are being re-laid and work is due to finish on the weekend of the Exhibition. If work is still in progress then bus replacement services will operate between Piccadilly Station, Victoria Station and St Peter's Square.

We look forward to welcoming all of our friends, old and new, to our exhibition
