My Manchester venue - Cross Street Chapel

Central Manchester, only 15 minutes walk from Piccadilly Train Station

 

Cross Street runs from the bottom of Market Street (near Marks & Spencer) to Albert Square. The venue is about half way along, opposite St Ann’s Street. It doesn't look like a chapel on first sighting! 
It consists of the first two floors of a modern office block. 

Cross Street runs from the bottom of Market Street (near Marks & Spencer) to Albert Square. 
Cross street chapel is  about half way along, almost opposite St Ann Street. 
Chapel Walks is a pedestrian way that goes alongside the Chapel.

Cross Street Chapel, the entrance to the venue where I run my public speaking courses

By train

Manchester Piccadilly station is about a 15 minute walk away. Manchester Victoria is about 10 minutes walk away

By car

There are several car parks within half a mile from the chapel. But please note that parking in Manchester is very expensive. You might want to consider parking on the outskirts and coming in by Trm

By tram

The nearest Metrolink stop is either St Peter’s Square (walk through to Albert Square and along Cross Street) or Market Street (walk towards Marks & Spencer then left into Cross Street).

Hotel

Usually I stay at motelone (search for the Manchester Royal Exchange) and that is less than a minute’s walk from the venue

If you arrive really early

There is a Pret a Manger opposite the venue. And if you want cheaper sandwiches there is Sainsbury’s opposite!

Lunch

There are a number of places to buy sandwiches: Sainsbury’s is opposite, Pret a Manger, Gregs are all very close
