Monsters and Movies – transport, hotels, parking & more!

November 2, 2022 grimmfest

Our Monsters and Movies event, takes place on the 19 & 20 November. Here’s a handy post with some useful information…..

TRANSPORT

No train strikes in sight for this one!

Deansgate is the closest train station, but the cinema is easily accessible from Piccadilly – use THIS to plan your journey whether you’re travelling by train, bus or tram.

TAXIS

You could also consider a cheap Taxi to get to and from the festival. We recommend KINGSWAY CABS, BOLT and UBER. You’ll find Kingsway the cheapest and UBER the most expensive. All three have downloadable apps.

PARKING

(Please note: make sure you use the correct NCP car park for the Odeon and Casino, first on the left and below the building NOT up a corkscrew ramp!)

Manchester235 Casino are offering 12 hours parking for £6.95 with promo code 235CASINO – you must download the NCP park pass app, create an account and use the code! See below image for instructions.

Odeon Great Northern have parking for 4 hours for £4.95 with promo code ODEONGN – you must download the NCP park pass app, create an account and use the code! See below image for instructions.

Note: DO NOT go over the allowed hours otherwise you’ll be hit with a big parking fee. You can of course drive out of carpark and come back in again and use the code again!!

There are other nearby parking spots and we recommend doing a little research before attending. Nearby parking meters are free after 8pm.
