Peter’s Fields/Conference Quarter

This is a newly developed area that includes the Manchester International Convention Centre (MICC), Bridgewater Hall and G-MEX.

To many the area is also the ‘Straight Village’, the antithesis of the Gay Village. At night gangs of shaven-headed lads and girls in mini-skirts roam from pub to pub.
