The official Congress Dinner will be held at Old Trafford stadium, the home of Manchester United Football Club.

The event will begin with a reception in the Manchester United Museum from 19.00. Split over three floors, the museum provides an in-depth and interactive guide to the history of the club, including United’s greatest players, the drama of the 1998-99 Treble season, and the tragedy of the Munich air disaster. A three-course dinner will then be served in the stadium’s Manchester Suite from 20.00.

There is also the opportunity to sign up for a tour of the stadium before the dinner. Old Trafford is the largest football club stadium in Britain, with a capacity in excess of 76 000. The tour takes visitors behind the scenes to view areas including the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, the players’ dressing room and the players’ tunnel.

The Congress Dinner is available at a cost of £55 per person, and the optional stadium tour at £11 per person. You will need to reserve your place in advance by contacting mcc.reg@manchester.ac.uk.

Transport to and from Old Trafford is included in the price. Coaches will leave from University Place on Saturday afternoon at times to be announced.
