Try your credit card (if you have the pin no) in an ATM - it should give you what you need. - ie withdraw sterling. Failing that, try going into one of the big hotels (four or five star) - they usually have foreign exchange desks - you'll probably get stung on the rate, but if you are desperate.......

The Radisson Edwardian Hotel in Peter Street smack in the middle of Manchester City Centre has a currency exchange counter.

ATM machines will give you sterling if you have a credit/debit card you can use.

Last option is to get the taxi to wait at the airport while you go to the Bureau, but many don't like to do this so I'd ask first before you get into a fight !

Good luck.

a good hotel or the airport ask the cab to wait and take you back to the city

Try the tourist information centre, if there is one.

Have you asked the reception at the hotel you are staying at? They should be able to change it for you or at least advise you where to go to change it.

Try some top notch hotels. Sometimes they can get the exchange rate and swap your currency for pounds.
I use to work in a hotel, get the exchange rate off the internet and swap for the value of the money. The manager may need to pass this. You may need some ID.

Hope this helps a bit.. good luck

stay in reception and ask other guests if they can sell you some pounds.

If you have an atm card you can get euros from the atm machine.
Fyi... airports don't give you a good exchange rate.

I am sure you could find a travel exchange that is open in Manchester today. Try yell.com.
