Join us for an day of exploring, mapping and wandering in Central Manchester and Salford. Starting with maps of Manchester and Salford from 150 years ago, we'll propose expeditions to uncharted territories or revisiting previously explored places, strange meanderings and any other diversions that people fancy.
We recommend bringing some lunch, but there's plenty of places around the city to grab something.
There will be tea & coffee at basecamp,, but we recommend you bring water & food with you.There is a co-op supermarket just round the corner, or a number of small, local cafes and restaurants nearby.
Federation is located in the centre of Manchester, on the corner of Balloon Street and Federation Street. It’s about a minute walk from Shudehill tram and bus station, and few minutes from Victoria tram and train station. Putting the address into your phone or satnav should get you here with no problems.
Federation has no parking itself, but there are a number of carparks in the immediate area, such as the Manchester Arndale or Printworks NCP.
There is one step from the pavement to the entrance to the building. The door staff will be able to bring out a ramp for you if required. The rest of the building is an accessible venue with a lift to all floors.
