The Venue and Travelling to UKCBR4

Its location, close to an extensive network of roads and railways is ideal for travel to all parts of the country. Manchester International Airport, less than 15 miles from the campus, offers direct flights to many parts of the continent and a regular shuttle service to London - Heathrow. A British Rail station is situated 2 minutes walking distance from the centre making rail travel even more convenient. Manchester, England's third largest city, provides excellent cultural, leisure, shopping and sporting facilities. Some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain is within easy reach. The Peak District, the Dales, the Lake District and the sandy beaches and mountains of North Wales are all less than two hours away by road.  

Accommodation

If you wish to stay in Manchester either the night before or the night after the workshop you must arrange your own accommodation. A list of convenient recommended hotels is available here.
