Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking Beneath Manchester Central on Event Days The [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) car park directly below Manchester Central is open 24 hours a day, all year round, giving drivers an on-site option at the Windmill Street venue (manchestercentral.co.uk). The car park has 700 spaces, including 18 disabled spaces (manchestercentral.co.uk). Its position beneath the building is particularly useful when an event finishes late or heavy rain makes a longer walk inconvenient. NCP lists pay-on-the-day rates of £5.50 for 1 hour, £11 for 1 to 2 hours, £16.50 for 2 to 3 hours, £22 for 3 to 4 hours and £27.50 for 4 to 5 hours (ncp.co.uk). Manchester Central advises visitors to book parking, while [Q-Park](https://www.parksy.com/blog/q-park-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) also offers pre-booking for the complex (manchestercentral.co.uk; q-park.co.uk). ## Parksy Spaces Near Manchester Central Convention Complex Parksy lists six nearby spaces for drivers who prefer to reserve away from the venue car park. The options include a driveway space in Old Trafford, 177 yards away, at £5 a day; a space near Hilton Manchester Deansgate, 179 yards away, at £5.40 a month; and 24/7 parking at Malmaison Manchester, 206 yards away, at £2.16 an hour. Three further priced listings are a space at Abode Manchester - M1, 206 yards away, at £8.60 a day; parking at Radisson Edwardian Manchester, 209 yards away, at £8.10 a day; and a Manchester M1 space, 254 yards away, at £1.80 an hour. A walk of 177 to 254 yards is short enough for most event arrivals, although the return journey after a show or match can feel longer in busy city-centre foot traffic. Show map of Manchester ## Street Parking Controls Around Windmill Street Windmill Street is the venue address, so drivers approaching by car should use the signed entrance to the underground NCP rather than treating nearby kerb space as event parking. The venue's on-site parking is directly below the building and has lift access to the venue, with 15 disabled spaces on the Upper Level (manchestercentral.co.uk). Event traffic can make the streets around the city-centre venue slower than usual, particularly when several conferences or performances overlap. Parking in a marked bay does not replace the restrictions shown on local signs, and loading, disabled and permit controls remain relevant around the approach roads. The venue's accessibility information identifies the underground NCP as the parking facility serving visitors (manchestercentral.co.uk). ## NCP and Q-Park Alternatives for City-Centre Events NCP publishes pay-on-the-day rates of £5.50 for 1 hour, £11 for 1 to 2 hours, £16.50 for 2 to 3 hours, £22 for 3 to 4 hours and £27.50 for 4 to 5 hours (ncp.co.uk). Manchester Central describes the NCP as on-site parking and says it is open 24 hours a day all year round (manchestercentral.co.uk). The venue's getting-here information also directs visitors towards booking parking, which is useful for conferences and evening events when arriving without a reservation can add time to the journey (manchestercentral.co.uk). ## Walking From Salford Central and Manchester Piccadilly Salford Central railway station is the nearest listed station, 0.6 miles from the venue and a 12-minute walk. The route suits visitors arriving from the west who want to avoid city-centre driving and underground parking queues. Manchester Exchange railway station is about a 14-minute walk away, while Manchester Piccadilly station is also about a 14-minute walk away. Piccadilly provides a practical rail choice for visitors arriving from outside Manchester, with the final walk crossing the city centre to Windmill Street. The venue address is Windmill Street, City Centre, Manchester, M2 3GX.
