Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Manchester

Manchester makes its own kind of impression. After being collected and transferred to your hotel, your CEO is on hand with the inside knowledge on where to go and what to explore. Take the afternoon to find your bearings in a city that rewards curiosity. When evening comes, the group heads out for a handpicked round of Manchester's finest local pubs — the kind of pubs that put the North firmly on the map

Day 2 Matchday at the Etihad

Today's the day. Your VIP Manchester City matchday begins with private group transportation and curated stops en route — pubs and streets alive with pre-match energy. At the Etihad you enter through the dedicated hospitality entrance and take your executive middle-tier seat — padded, well positioned and with lounge access throughout the day. A match programme, a full range of bars and food outlets and the kind of matchday atmosphere only Manchester City can generate. Post-match, the lounge is yours

Day 3 Football the local way

The Etihad is a hard act to follow. But that's the beauty of football in this city — it runs at every level. Today you experience it from the other end of the spectrum, with a grassroots match from the terraces where the grounds are small, the crowd is close and every decision is felt personally. Scheduled around kick-off, your CEO rounds the group up at a local pub for Premier League fixtures on screen and the kind of banter that only happens on matchday. The game always finds a way

Day 4 Manchester, off the pitch

Football done. Now Manchester gets to make its case. After a leisurely breakfast, a local guide takes you through the city's food scene — from the Northern Quarter's independent spots to neighbourhood haunts that reward the curious visitor. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore at your own pace. Your CEO pulls everyone together one final time that evening for an optional dinner — the right way to end a trip to one of England's most proudly itself cities

Day 5 Departure day

Breakfast, one last look at a city that doesn't do things quietly, then it's time to go. Departures are at your leisure today

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Manchester

To ensure you don't miss any of the opening action, please plan to arrive in Manchester by 3:00 PM on arrival day

Day 2 Matchday at the Etihad

Depending on kick-off time, your stadium tour may be included on this day. If that's not possible, don’t worry — it’ll be moved to another part of your football trip. Like all top-level fixtures, match scheduling can shift. Premier League match dates are typically confirmed around six weeks before departure, and your match may take place on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday once the final schedule is released. You will be notified once your matchday is confirmed

Day 3 Football the local way

Your National League match may be any fixture from the leagues below the Premier League in the English football pyramid, including men’s non-league divisions or women’s league matches depending on the schedule
