We will be taking over the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly for the weekend of 1st to 3rd August 2025. This venue offers accommodation for attendees and conference rooms in which all our quizzes will be played. We recommend that you book in to this hotel for ease of access to the quiz events and we have negotiated a 20% discount. However, it is not compulsory and attendees are free to stay wherever they wish.
Location
Mercure Manchester Piccadilly, Portland Street, Manchester
Rates
We have negotiated a 20% discount on the best available prices at time of booking. This is achieved by using the code MERWED and can be completed via their website located here. We recommend booking as early as possible to get the best rate available. This code will be available for rooms booked for any evening from Thursday 31st July to Sunday 3rd August inclusive.
If you are having any issues applying the discount code then please drop us an email at info@onlinequizleague.com and we will reply with a step by step guide.
Food
You can also add breakfast to your booking when completing your booking. Lunches are also purchasable but this is done through OQL and should be included in your registration.
Lunch can be booked for Saturday and/or Sunday. There are two options. For £16 you can order a grab bag which will contain sandwiches, fruit, chocolate, drisps and drink and will cost £16 per day. These will be collected from a central location and eaten wherever you choose.
The second option is a hot 2 course buffet at £20 to be eaten in the on site restaurant. The menu changes weekly so at this time we cannot guarantee what will be available on the buffet. If ordering lunches please ensure you advise us of any dietary requirements when making your booking. Lunches must be booked and paid for in advance of the event and can be purchased alongside your ticket or at a later date.
Booking
The website for the hotel can be found here and to book using our discounted rate simply insert the word MERWED into the relevant section.
Check-in time for the hotel is 3pm, we are expecting to be able to give room keys out at our registration desk and this will be finalised closer to the event. If, for any reason, you are unable to check into you room prior to the commencement of the quizzes you are able to leave your possessions in a safe room.
Check-out time is 11am. If you are checking out on Sunday but attending the Sunday quizzes you will be welcome to leave your luggage in a safe room.
Parking and public transport
There is parking at the hotel but it is charged at a rate of £20 per 24 hours. Blue Badge holders will be entitled to free parking all weekend in the hotel car park.
Due to the price of parking we recommend attendees travel by train. The hotel is approximately 5 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station which has fantastic rail links to pretty much anywhere in Mainland UK.
