How to find The Bridgewater Hall
The Bridgewater Hall is located on Lower Mosley Street in
the heart of Manchester city centre. It is situated close to St Peter's
Square Metrolink station, mainline railway stations and several car parks. See
links below for further information, bus and train timetables, or alternatively
call the Box Office on 0161 907 9000 for help.
Convenient car parking can be found in the NCP Manchester Central car park below G-Mex, which is linked directly to The Bridgewater Hall by an underpass beneath Lower Mosley Street. This well-lit underground walkway gives level access from the car-park to a lift which, in turn, gives access to Barbirolli Square just outside the Hall's main entrance.
There is a specially designated tarmacked area for wheelchair-using patrons adjacent to the walkway entrance (see map). There are a limited number of complimentary parking spaces in this area which are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Priority is given to wheelchair users; spaces are free of charge but a ticket must be booked from the Box Office with your concert tickets. Blue badge holders are also entitled to park free in this area; again with a relevant ticket that must be obtained in advance (see above). Please note that the remainder of this parking area, other than the aforementioned wheelchair spaces, is cobbled.
Car park vouchers for evening events are available to all Bridgewater Hall
patrons for the NCP Manchester Central car park beneath GMEX, Great Northern
Phase 1&2 and Oxford Street car parks, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can purchase your car park voucher at a cost of £5.50 per car - a
saving on the standard evening rate. Vouchers are valid from 5pm and can be
bought when you purchase your concert tickets. Vouchers are also available for
selected weekend daytime events - please ask at the Box Office when booking.
G-Mex and NCP have invested over a £1/4 million in
new, automated parking and security facilities for Manchester Central. The benefits
to Bridgewater Hall patrons include faster entry to and exit from the car parks,
combined with improved lighting and increased security via additional CCTV cameras.
Patrons are requested to note the following changes in the system for pre-paid
car parking vouchers:
As you enter the car park, you will be offered a car park ticket. Take this
ticket and your pre-paid NCP car park voucher from The Bridgewater Hall to the
Cloakroom in the Hall foyer for validation. Tickets can be validated both before
and after the concert. On leaving the car park, drive to the exit barrier and
insert your validated ticket. The barrier will lift for you to exit.
