How to get there from Altrincham

The nearest Metrolink stop is Moor Road, on the airport line. From there it is a 15–20 minute walk down Bideford Drive and through the park to the West Gate.

Trams will be busier than usual between 2pm and 8pm on the way in, and between 10pm and midnight on the way back. There is an enhanced service around the park on show days. Wythenshawe Road and Baguley stops close from 9pm.

If you are being dropped off or picked up by car, taxi or Uber, use Tesco on Altrincham Road, M23 9TJ. It is the official pick-up and drop-off point.

An £8 event travel pass, bought in advance on the Bee Network app, covers any combination of Bee Network bus, tram or shuttle bus on show days.

Shuttle buses

Shuttles run from Manchester city centre and East Didsbury.

From the city centre, buses leave Aytoun Street/Minshull Street, near Piccadilly, every six minutes. The journey is about 35 minutes, with drop-off on Palatine Road opposite Parkway House, then a five-minute walk to the gates.

From East Didsbury, buses leave Parrs Wood, in front of the tenpin bowling alley (stop F), every 15 minutes. The journey is about 15 minutes, with drop-off on Palatine Road near Northenden Health Centre.

Outbound times this weekend:

  • 4pm–7.30pm on Friday 28 August
  • 2.30pm–7.30pm on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August

After the shows, buses leave from 10pm on a load-and-go basis from outside Parkway House, via the North Gate. All return buses stop at Parrs Wood before continuing to the city centre.

One-way shuttle tickets can be bought at the pick-up point on the day for £4, or £2 for concessions.
