No - but to help things along, can you clarify whether you mean Piccadilly Railway Station or Piccadilly Gardens (bus interchange)?

Sorry, Picadilly Gardens. We are staying at the Britannia so want to go somewhere within walking distance late at night/early morning and feel relatively safe.

The Britannia has its own Night Club...we stayed there a couple of years ago.

I don't think it is open now.

Dont take this the wrong way.One of the safest places in Manchester is the gay village,it attracts gay and straight people and has loads of places for dancing and is litterally 200 yards from your hotel.If you go to other places they are within walking distance but its quite a walk..Manchester has great clubs and bars but they are spread out over the centre and not all together as you find in other cities.Nearest other places would be in Printworks or Deansgate Locks which are a good walk away.

There are probably others who know clubs in Manchester better than me so they may offer better advise.My days of clubbing in Manchester are long gone

Thanks for that Wayne, we have been to the Gay Village before and agree the nightlife is good so may go there. We are going to the Arena so will have a walk through the Printworks and see what is going on there. Thanks for your help, just didn't want to miss anything new that is going on.

No. 1 son ( who is not gay) goes clubbing there so it must be OK.

The Britannia still has a night club attached. A bit ropey but okay if you want a quick dance. Free entry to all so a bit overcrowded with a sticky dance floor and not enough bar staff.
