    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. On saturday (17th) I am doing the Manchester shine which of course doesn't finish until the early hours (prob 3am) so of course all public transport is finished.

    Does anyone know where in the city (say deansgate or victoria station) that you can park for free, I need to park around 6.30pm till about 3am.

    Thanks for your help

    Parking is free on the road in the city centre between 6pm and 8am.. if you drive into the city and for example if you go down any of the little streets off Deansgate you should find plenty of free spaces (I always find parking off John Dalton Street)

    Hope this helps.

    @Quidco-ette - Why have I never known this?! It cost me £9 to park 9pm-4am last night in a city centre car park. Had only I known it was free on street, it would have cost the petrol only!

    So thanks for the tip! Cheap parking for tonights shift then.

    I live opposite the radiotherapy building of the Christie Hospital (Palatine Road) - doctors are always parking for free in the car park at the back of mine, so I don't see why other people shouldn't do it as well. The bus in to the city centre (or to the university) is only about £.130.

    I'm off to see Peter Kay at the MEN in May

    can anyone suggest a decent & cheap place to park

    thanks in advance

    There is a small car park opposite the entrance to MEN multi story, not sure if it is only open when events are on but worth looking at

    For the MEN, the old Boddington's factory is now a car park. Pay and Display £3 a day, 24/7.

    It's on the corner of Great Ducie Street and New Bridge Street which means it's about 20m away from MEN.

    i never pay for parking at the MEN, most of the side streets at the bottom of cheetham hill road which are 2 minutes walk from the arena are single yellows so as long as your event is in the evening you can park free of charge, the dodgy blokes waving you into their plot of wasteground dont want you to know this obviously!
