Directions:
If travelling by car, the Manchester Evening News Arena is situated on the A56, 3 miles from Junction 17 of the M62.
Parking:
The official NCP on-site multi-storey car park has a capacity of 900. In addition, approximately 3,500 recognised NCP spaces within 10 minutes walk serve the Manchester Evening News Arena. Please beware of unauthorised car parks and street parking. We advise anyone with walking difficulties to arrive as early as possible and use the car parks at the Arena, Shudehill or the Printworks.
Public Transport:
If you're planning a trip to the MEN Arena - day or night - then you'll find public transport is the best way to travel from all over Greater Manchester, and beyond. The Manchester Evening News Arena is one of the easiest places to get to by public transport; buses, trains and trams drop you only minutes away from the entrance.
The M.E.N. Arena prides itself on being accessible to everyone. The on-site NCP car park offers many spaces for disabled customers and there are lifts available both within the car park and giving access to the Arena box office and City Room entrance. There is also a lift from platform 3 on Victoria Station and to the right of the Hunts Bank steps.
Designated seating within the M.E.N. Arena caters for wheelchair users and their carers or those with walking difficulties. We also offer lowered counters and disabled toilet facilities.
