Getting Here

If you are travelling to the RNCM by car we recommend that you allow plenty of time for your journey. Please note that Oxford Road has recently undergone significant change and general traffic is no longer permitted to use the route between 6am and 9pm, 7 days a week. Visitors driving into and across the city centre will need to use alternative routes, such as Upper Brook Street and Princess Street, rather than Oxford Road.

For further information on these changes, please view information on the Manchester City Council website.
