Opening Times
PINK doesn't keep fixed opening hours, when we're open, it's because something is happening. Check our What's On page for current exhibitions, events, and activities, and individual listings for specific times. One day we'd love to have the doors open every day. We're working on it.
Accessibility
We're committed to making PINK a welcoming and accessible space for everyone. The building has step-free access from street level throughout the ground floor, and a lift provides access to the second floor. All toilets on site are gender neutral, with a wheelchair-accessible toilet available. Seating is provided throughout the exhibition and event spaces. All exhibitions are accompanied by large-print texts and an audio version of the press release, so there are multiple ways to engage with the work on display. Sensory bags with items related to PINK's exhibition are also available for visitors who prefer a tactile experience. If you have any questions, specific access requirements, or would like to discuss your visit in advance, get in touch at pinkmanchester@gmail.com — we're always happy to help.

Trains run regularly from Manchester Piccadilly to Stockport Station — the journey takes around 7–10 minutes. From the station, it's a 10-minute walk downhill along Wellington Road South, then onto Lord Street.
