CELEBRATING OUR GRADS

Graduation is a special opportunity to celebrate everything God has done through the lives of our students and to commission them into all that lies ahead.

Whether you're graduating, being ordained, supporting a family member or joining us to celebrate, we've put everything you need for the day in one place.

GRADUATE INFORMATION FORM

This form contains questions for all the information we need from you including, the name you want on your certificate, how to pronounce your name, the height for your gown, and where to send the gown to. Please make sure to fill it out as soon as possible.

WHERE TO STAY

We've selected several convenient hotel options around Salford Quays and MediaCity, all within easy reach of the Graduation venue.

GETTING TO THE EVENT

🚊 BY TRAM

There are several Metrolink stops within easy walking distance:

Broadway — approximately 4 minutes' walk
MediaCityUK — approximately 9–12 minutes' walk
Imperial War Museum — approximately 15 minutes' walk

Broadway is the closest tram stop to Dallas Court.

🚌 BY BUS

The closest bus stops include:

Dakota Avenue — approximately 2 minutes' walk
Michigan Avenue — approximately 4 minutes' walk
South Langworthy Road — approximately 8 minutes' walk
MediaCityUK / The Quays — approximately 9 minutes' walk

Useful services in the area include the 33, 50 and 53. The Bee Network 50 service connects MediaCityUK with Salford, Manchester city centre and onward towards East Didsbury.

🚆 BY TRAIN

Salford Crescent is the nearest main railway station, approximately 2 km from GoChurch. From Salford Crescent, the 50 bus provides a useful connection towards MediaCityUK/Salford Quays.

For visitors arriving at Manchester Piccadilly or Manchester Victoria, I would actually encourage them to transfer to the Metrolink rather than walk from a railway station, as the tram gets them much closer to Dallas Court.

🚗 BY CAR

Use the postcode: M50 2GF GoChurch Manchester, Dallas Court, Salford Quays

Parking
There is limited parking immediately around the venue, so we recommend allowing extra time and if the GoChurch lot is full, their team will direct you to another spot or suggest using one of the nearby public car parks.
