Parklife Festival is one of the UK’s biggest and most popular music festivals, attracting tens of thousands of visitors to Manchester every year.
Held at Heaton Park, the festival draws huge crowds over the weekend, leading to road closures, parking restrictions and extremely high demand for transport.
If you’re travelling from Stockport, planning your journey in advance is essential. This guide explains the best ways to get to Manchester Parklife Festival from Stockport — and why many festivalgoers choose Lynx Taxis.
What Is Parklife Festival?
Parklife is an annual two-day music festival featuring:
- International DJs and artists
- Multiple outdoor stages
