As part of the ongoing redevelopment and upgrade of the Metrolink service, a series of works is being carried out around Victoria Station and throughout Manchester City Centre. For further information please visit the Transport For Greater Manchester website or Metrolink's Transformation Information. Please note, the Victoria Station approach (running from Corporation Street down Hunts Bank) is a bus lane only. This new route is enforced by cameras and subsequent fines. The road in the opposite direction (from Great Ducie Street up Hunts Bank) will remain open for car access. For the latest news and information regarding planned roadworks in the North West, please visit the Highways Agency website or call 08457 50 40 30. We are located in the city centre, on the corner of Trinity Way, Hunts Bank and Great Ducie Street, and is adjacent to Victoria Station. Our postcode is M3 1AR. We're situated on the A56, 3 miles from Junction 17 of the M62. The on-site car park is operated by our official parking partner NCP and has a capacity of 958 spaces.

On show nights, the car park is manned by an events team who work to ensure that parking at the venue is as simple and easy as possible. They conduct regular patrols of the car park and the car park also has the Park Mark award for safety. You can pre-book your parking in advance to guarantee your space on the lower floors of the car park and ensure a speedy entry and exit from the car park. We advise anyone with mobility issues to arrive as early as possible and use either the onsite NCP car park or the Shudehill Interchange NCP. Drop Off / Pick Up Please arrange to drop off and/or pick up away from the Arena as, due to our city-centre location and size of events, road closures and diversions may be in place at the end of an event making it difficult to return to your chosen meeting point. If you're planning a trip to us - day or night - then you'll find public transport is the best way to travel from all over Greater Manchester, and beyond. We're one of the easiest places to get to by public transport;

Trams run from many places in Greater Manchester and are also a handy way to get to the Arena from other places in the city centre. Your journey can be planned via the Metrolink website. Metrolink is an easily accessible system; all stops have either a ramp, lift or escalator access. Most platforms have tactile edges for visually impaired passengers. All platforms have designated wheelchair/pushchair access point for step free access.  Each tram has designated disabled/pushchair areas with its own emergency / information call points. Many buses serve Cannon Street and Victoria bus stations and many more stop within easy walking distance in the city centre. Manchester's free city centre Metroshuttle service also links Victoria station with other areas of the centre. Many accessible buses in Greater Manchester have a ‘kneeling’ suspension which means the bus driver can lower the bus at the stop.

There is a space for people who use wheelchairs. You can find out whether your service is accessible by telephoning Traveline on 0871 200 22 33 or Textphone 18001 0871 200 22 33, or you can check the bus timetable to find out whether journeys on a particular service are operated using accessible buses.

Wildlife flock to it, attracted by the River Dane, and visitors can expect a warm welcome. It is ideally situated for commuters who want to get away from the rat race at the weekends with easy access to the M6 motorway, other parts of Cheshire and the North Staffordshire border. Sometimes known as Beartown, according to a legend dating back to when bear-bating was still a popular sport, Congleton has plenty going for it. There is lots to keep you occupied with many places to visit including the historic Little Moreton Hall, used for filming in ITV drama Moll Flanders, and ancient manor house, Gawsworth Hall. There is also Jodrell Bank, Capesthorne Hall and Congleton Park as well as the Congleton Museum, a free children's paddling pool from May to September as well as an excellent choice of shops, pubs and restaurants.

During the warmer months the town also welcomes boaters passing through on the Macclesfield Canal. Despite all this, property prices in Congleton have seldom gone above the national average. There has been an overall increase in the last ten years but in some cases, including in 2005, prices dropped well below national trends. Flats, which have only become more popular in the town over the last few years are, on average, more expensive than terraced homes with almost £10,000 more to pay. There is a good mix of property available from huge family homes costing more than £1 million, new and resale homes for those with a middle of the range budget and more modestly priced properties below the £100,000 mark for first time buyers. There is a new development at Lime Wharf with luxury apartments to attract city centre commuters as well as huge mansion-like properties that have a tale to tell. Congleton has plenty going for it. So why not take a trip down there, your dream home could be waiting.
