We are very excited that the finish line for this year’s Manchester Marathon is on Oxford Road, right outside the Museum – even the Spider Crab has got his running shoes on ready!
If you’re coming to the Museum on Sunday, here’s some information to help you plan your visit:
You can find up-to-date travel advice here, and road closures here.
We are expecting the Museum to be very busy, so we’ve put some measures in place in order to keep everyone safe:
- When we reach capacity, there will be a queuing system in place – but we’re definitely worth the wait!
- The Café will be open with a reduced menu, for takeaway only. A one way system will be in place, via the Café’s step free entrance.
- To help make sure everyone feels safe, we’re asking all visitors to keep bags, luggage, buggies, prams and pushchairs with you throughout your visit, therefore the lockers and Buggy Park will not be available on Sunday.
- Additional toilets will be available on Bridgeford Street next to the Museum.
- For anyone needing to take some time out, we have a Quiet Room available, just ask one of our team.
