PGTC 2026 will take place in the Alan Turing Building (not to be confused with various other 'Turing' locations around Manchester)
A map of university facilities can be found here.
If arriving by train, there are several stations you can arrive at:
Oxford Road and Piccadilly stations are both about a 15 - 20 minute walk (or a bus journey) away from the department.
Victoria station is slightly further away, so if arriving here you may want to take a tram to St. Peter's Square.
The trams and buses in Manchester operate under the Bee Network.
