How to travel to Parklife

Parklife have partnered with Transport for Greater Manchester and Manchester City Council to offer a shuttle bus to and from the city centre. The journey will take around 30 minutes and will drop festival goers off right inside the festival site.

The Metrolink strike that was planned for this weekend has been called off, making it much easier for festival-goers to get to Heaton Park. You will need to get off at the Heaton Park station when arriving at the festival, but leave from Bowker Vale station as the Heaton Park stop will be closed from 6:30pm.

Fans wishing to use the buses will need to use the North exit for the departure point. Tickets for the bus cost £5 per day and can be found on the tickets page of the Parklife website. Buying in advance will reduce your queuing time and will be sent to you in electronic form so you will need your phone when looking to board the shuttle bus.
