Before New Year's Eve takes the stage
Hotels, food and things to do around the Bridgewater Hall.
Deansgate and Spinningfields
The immediate neighbourhood is packed with independent restaurants, cafes and shops. Arrive early and settle into the area before your show — there's real food and drink culture here, not just chains.
Manchester Cathedral and City Centre
A five-minute walk puts you in the heart of old Manchester, with the cathedral, historic streets and independent galleries. Parking slightly further out in this direction gives you a proper walk and a chance to see the city.
- Our favourite
Bridgewater Canal
Walk alongside the canal towpath before your show — it's a green route through the city and a calm place to kill time if you've arrived early and want to avoid traffic stress.
