More road closures announced for Chanel fashion show in Manchester

More roads will be closed in Manchester from today (December 6) ahead of Chanel's big fashion show in the city centre. The Métiers d'Art event, which will see 600 guests from around the globe flock to the Northern Quarter, will take place tomorrow (December 7).

A huge structure has been built in Thomas Street where the outdoor catwalk will be hosted. Tables and chairs have been set up on the street where A-list celebrities, fashionistas and other VIP guests are expected to watch the exclusive event on Thursday evening.

Several roads have been closed off for some periods of the day over the last few weeks as organisers prepare for the show. A 'controlled drop off point' where attendees would arrive and get out of their vehicles is expected to be located at High Street.

After the show, some of the guests are expected to be ferried to Victoria Baths in Ardwick where an exclusive after party is planned. The M.E.N. understands that a small section of Hathersage Road will also be closed during the after party at the former swimming pool.

Last week, Manchester council revealed that some roads will be closed to facilitate a 'Northern Quarter Event'. The M.E.N. understands that this is the codename that town hall staff have been using to refer to the international fashion show which is shrouded in secrecy.

The local authority has now published a full list of road closures starting today (December 6) for 'an event in the Northern Quarter'. These closures will end on Friday morning (December 8) but pedestrian and vehicular access will be limited
