My previous attempt to find a good venue in Manchester didn't come to much, but I think there are now other options, which I will investigate and report back.
There are good options in the University of Manchester, including the impressive University Place [1], which is under construction, but already booking up fast. University Place is being set up for bigger conferences (over 500 delegates), so it might be possible to do this within one of the smaller venue combinations, however Wikimania in the UK is likely to attract a lot of interest from academia in particular. I've posted details on the Meta page [2].
