Parklife travel advice as 70,000 people expected to make their way to Heaton Park this weekend
A sea of people dinning bucket hats, sequined outfits and cowboy boots will make their way through Manchester city centre this weekend as Parklife returns for another year.
Those planning to use public transport are being urged by Greater Manchester Police to plan their journeys both to and from the event in advance. Superintendent Andy Sidebotham, who is leading the policing operation for Parklife, said: “Parklife is a fantastic event and I hope those with tickets are very much looking forward to attending what is Manchester’s biggest music festival.
Anyone looking to get the tram to Parklife will need to get off at the Heaton Park stop, which is located close to the West Gate entrance. Over the weekend, trams from the city centre to the stop will be every six minutes.For safety reasons, however, the Heaton Park stop will be closed from 9pm each evening. This means that Bowker Vale stop, located towards the East Gate exit, will be your best port of call after the event.
Sean Dyball, TfGM’s Head of Customer Experience, said: "Parklife is one of the biggest events in Greater Manchester’s calendar, and we hope everyone who attends has a safe and enjoyable weekend.
