When/Where?
Altrincham, Manchester across 2 days
Why not Liverpool?
Having carefully considered the cost of venue hire, parking and accessability, it was decided that Altrincham offered the best value for money and transport links. These factors allow us to pass the benefits on to you the loyal OMD fans.
Our schedule for the weekend remains subject to change
