Piccadilly Station to The Sheridan Suite

By bus

Follow the signs for the Shuttle Bus and leave the station via the Piccadilly Approach beside the ticket office at concourse level (ie don’t go down any stairs). Walk down the station approach and keep going straight on into Piccadilly Gardens. Half way along Piccadilly Gardens you will pass Oldham Street on your right (approx 100m).
Turn into Oldham Street and most busses departing from the first two bus stops pass the Sheridan. Ask the driver for the stop before the Queens Road/Hulme Hall Lane junction. It is about a 5 minutes ride.

Walking
Easiest route to find/follow is to leave via Piccadilly Approach. Follow the main road forward until Piccadilly Gardens are reached. Keep straigh on down the side of Piccadilly Gardens until Oldham Street is reached (approx 100m). Turn right into Oldham Street and keep on until the end of the street. Opposite you will see the Crown and Kettle public house. Cross the road and proceed to the left of the Crown and Kettle along Oldham Road. The venue is then 1.1 miles along on the left just before a major road junction.
If you pass under a (railway) bridge you have gone 100m too far!

By Metro
Unfortunatly the Metro is only of limited use but can be used to get to Market Street from where walking/the bus are both options.
Follow the signs in Piccadilly Station to the Metro platforms and board a BURY bound tram. Get off at the second stop, Market Street. Having got off turn back, in the direction the tram has just come, into Piccadilly Gardens. Half way along on the left of Piccadilly Gardens (approx 100m) turn left into Oldham Street. Follow the directions for Bus or Walking above.
