Practical Info

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 20 minute walk/bus journey away from the department and hotel. Trams from Picadilly to Shudehill provide a direct line to the hotel.

• Victoria station is closer to the hotel, but a 35 minute walk from the department - the 41 bus (amongst others) may be preferable

The trams and buses in Manchester operate under the Bee Network.
