Manchester weekend parking options

[Ohgoonthenanotheronefortheroad]

We are travelling down from Scotland on Friday morning and are staying in Manchester City Centre Friday night and Salford Quays on Saturday night for a play. I was hoping we could leave car on outskirts somewhere like park and ride and collect on the Sunday but most places don't have a 24/48 hour option. Wondered of anyone has ever found anything that allows this? Parking is so expensive in city as is getting the train down 😞

Are you staying in two different hotels? If so, find a space near the Salford Quays hotel and park there for the entire weekend. Use a website like Your Parking Space to see if you can get in a spot nearby. I've just looked and you can park at the Premier Inn next to Quay House in Salford Quays for £26 Friday to Monday. Get the tram into the city centre from Salford Quays - it takes ten minutes.

Have you tried JustPark? You can rent someone’s driveway in the suburbs and get public transport into the city. That’s what we do when we’re going to be late in London.

Thank you. I had tried my parking space but couldn't see this option! I will have another wee look though and at Just Park as something like this is ideal. Yes, two different hotels the way it has worked out.

Manchester can be a bit of a nightmare for driving, especially as much of the centre is now a one way system.

QPark on First St and also Piccadilly Place are secure and can be pre-booked.

If you're not bothered about leaving your car in an open air carpark there is one behind Piccadilly train station.

Salford Quays, The Lowry car park is an option - I often use this when going to the theatre, or there is Media City.

It is one mad busy weekend though - Parklife/Take That @ Etihad/Lily Allen @ AO Arena.....😏

You could park overnight at the Metrolink park and ride and use the tram to go into the city. Parking is free, you pay for the tram journeys.
