Welcome to Manchester, England!  

Manchester is an ambitious city and one that has paved the way with a wealth of innovations and ideas. From the city that split the atom and created the first programmable computer to introducing the first professional football league, Manchester is known as a city of firsts. It has also undergone a series of transformations, from industrial heartland to the vibrant and exciting conurbation it is today, which is something that can be seen from the consistent development and investment into venues and the city’s transport infrastructure.

Manchester is ranked as a leading conference destination for planners and delegates alike. It has an enviable track record of delivering incredible events in which conference organisers are reaping the rewards from continuous investment and development.

This itinerary has been curated for the day leading up to the C&IT Festival, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, experiences and luxury before the festival begins.
