PARKING/TRAVEL
There is no specific event parking for the event. Entry into the Media City multistorey car park will close at 8.30am due to road closures, we advise arriving before 8am if you plan to use this car park as there will likely be queues on arrival. We recommend using the Lowry Outlet car park which is a short walk from the venue and is outside of the road closure area.
