Car parking
Parking can be booked in the NCP car park which is located underneath Manchester Central via this link.
The NCP car park is located underneath the venue which is operated by NCP. It’s the Manchester Central Car park with a height restriction of 1.98m
Manchester Central advise that bookings are made at least 24hours before arrival to ensure that they are processed on time.
There are also multiple other NCP car parks within a 2-5 minute walk from the venue that can be found here.
There is also discounted exhibitor parking available but only in the NCP car park under the venue. Please see details below:
Discounted car parking
For exhibitors, MCCC offer an NCP discounted code for parking. The code offers a Mon-Fri daily capped rate of £16.00.
To access this discount, Exhibitors can Pre-book their parking space in the car park via the NCP pre book website https://www.ncp.co.uk/prebook/ to which when they’re pre-booking they enter the code MCEXHIB16. The site then will calculate the total to pay for them with the weekday or weekend discounts applied.
Please see the discount code information sheet for NCP here
If you would rather pay on the day, then the secondary option is to download the NCP Park Pass App. You can set up an account, add your registration details and card details to your account and make sure the AUTOPAY is turned on prior to entering the carpark. You can then add the same MCEXHIB16 code to your account as a Saver ID. Click here to see how the park pass app works. When you leave, the app will calculate the full charge including the discount and send you an email to confirm how much has been taken from your account. We would like to highlight that for the app to work, exhibitors must set this up prior to entering the car park.
Report of break-ins – NCP car park
MCCC have been made aware of a series of recent break-ins in the NCP car park beneath the venue.
They are addressing the issue with NCP and Greater Manchester Police but wanted to make you aware so that you can advise your teams, suppliers and delegates to take extra care should they choose to park there. They strongly advise not leaving any possessions in vehicles and certainly nothing in sight.
In the meantime, they are deploying members of their own security team to undertake regular patrols in the car park and are also in the process of installing additional CCTV cameras to allow their venue control room team more visibility at entry and exit points.
