OUR LATEST NEWS
Most urgent
- this week:
Tickets for
NICOLE ET MARTIN are selling well…HERE IS INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE TENT AND
AVAILABLE PARKING SPACES:
The White Tent
is nestled in the trees in the section of the park near to GRANGETHORPE RD (Manchester High School for Girls)
off WILMSLOW RD. Unfortunately it is not that visible from Wilmslow Rd, because
the grass was too wet and boggy for them to
erect their tent closer to the park gate.
We shall
put signs at all the entrances to the park, that you can follow.
PARKING – you can park along GRANGETHORPE RD or in the official PLATT FIELDS carpark (entrance via LANGLEY RD off WILMSLOW RD – a little closer to
Fallowfield than GRANGETHORPE RD just after the long row of bus-stops. Come into the park and drive
straight down to the lake. The
carpark is on your right before you reach the lake. Then follow the signs to the Circus
Tent.
