I have booked the Premier Inn Deansgate for £34! Wanted a Saturday night too but it was extortionate at £106 ouch!
So may get the train home on Saturday evening if can't find another deal!
p.s. My OH is coming too.

Manchester Piccadilly to get the cheapest fare as its an extra £1.50 each way to Deansgate but if anyone is coming from across the country or up North if you get a ticket to Manchester stations rather than just Piccadilly you have free use of the metro in the city centre but for everyone else we have a free bus service throughout the city centre up until 7pm
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j ... 7178,d.ZGU so if you want to have a free bus tour of the city just pop on and off and visit a few sites (it is free for everyone not just people with a train ticket so make the most of it). Our meet up venue is near to Deansgate station - I'll ask Yogi if he can upload a map for us all as I'm still dire at IT.
Just been looking at the map and I didn't even know that we had this
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j ... 7178,d.ZGU so if we have any football fans it may be worth a look and it's free. I'll keep posting anything I find that might be of interest for the tourists plus us Mancunians. It was a different museum before I don't mean that I haven't noticed such a huge building

A few of us got them with the Sun. The Birmingham fares seem to be a little behind the others on giving cheap fares.
I have just seen noticed Much Ado About Nothing is on at The Royal Exchange theatre which is a tiny theatre in the city centre (I have never been but will certainly be putting this on my list to see). I will also add a list of theatres on the front page as it is a lot more affordable than London and if some of you are making a weekend of it it's worth looking into and rather than it getting lost in my wittering on I will make it more structured.

http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/tickets-o ... up-travel/ just found this so if there are 3 or more of you travelling together you all get 20%off each (not valid with redspottedhanky though). Lots of other companies also do discount on group travel so maybe worth having a chat with other FMUKers coming on the same train to get a really good deal.
