Park on the Lowry Centre, have a quick bite to eat get your ticket stamped X hours free depending on where you go. Otherwise pay for secure parking, there are several outfits who do it near the Lowry. Do not take a chance security wise at OT.

Cheers for that, how far of a walk from the lowery ?,Iv`e only got little legs....Lol Is the parking free at the Lowey ?..Cheers.

Not free but if you buy some food or just a coffee IIRC you then get your ticket stamped for 4 or 6 hours free depending on who stamps it. Coffee shops = 4 hours, pizza express etc = 6 hours IIRC. I took the non rugby wife last time so she appreciated a pre match meal / snack as do children. I did too but I did it for her Not far to walk IMO and you do so knowing your car is safe. Utd use the Lowry similarly.

It has cost me £9.27 for parking at Old Trafford on the car park across from the East stand!!

We're on Parker's Car Parks on Warwick Road very close to the ground. Not cheap at £14 but it's secure.

Jut noticed trhat Man City are playing at home today, will this have an effect on the parking at the Lowry ?. They kick off at 12.45, but i was hoping to get to the lowery about 1.30, have mooch about before heading over the fan zone, etc....

The Etihad is East Manchester - well away from the Lowry so that match won't affect your parking. The Lowry shopping centre and Lowry theatre will increase the number of cars into the car park (note: if you park in the multi storey and the first side entrance is busy you can scoot round to the main car park entrance)

Note though that you'll probably only get 4 hours free parking (with a food purchase or a shop purchase of £5 or over) so you'll probably have to pay something for parking.

An alternative is to drive to Prestwich, park up free and get the tram? The Altrincham tram goes straight to Old Trafford!

One of the benefits of being a Wigan fan living in Prestwich!

Chers fa that, it`s certainly an option.....Have a great day !!!!
