Venue details & travel/accommodation
Our workshops will be held at Parr’s Wood High School in East Didsbury, south Manchester. The school is a short walk from East Didsbury railway station, and from East Didsbury metrolink tram station. There is free parking available on site, and there are several hotels and a supermarket within a few minutes walk.
Workshop venue: Sports centre at Parr’s Wood High School, Wilmslow Rd, East Didsbury, Manchester M20 5PG – find it on Google maps
Saturday party venue: Station South, 975-977 Stockport Rd, Levenshulme, Manchester M19 3NP – find it on Google maps
Getting to East Didsbury
- From Manchester airport – take a direct train from Manchester Airport to East Didsbury (~15 minutes)
- From central Manchester – take a direct train from Manchester Piccadilly to East Didsbury (~15 minutes), or take a pink line metrolink tram from Manchester Victoria to East Didsbury metrolink stop (~40 minutes)
Getting to Station South
If you are going directly to the Saturday evening party from Parrs Wood, I would recomment taking a taxi, as there is no direct public transport link – but it is only around 15 minutes drive.
From Manchester city centre or from Stockport, you can get directly to Station South either on a 192 bus (get off at Crayfield Road stop), or on a local train to Levenshulme (around 5 minutes walk from Levenshulme railway station to Station South cafe)
Station South does not have car parking, however, it is normally possible to find on street parking nearby within a few minutes’ walk.
Accommodation nearby
There are two hotels very close to the workshop venue:
- Travelodge Manchester Didsbury – this is directly adjacent to the workshop venue, and is the most affordable option nearby
- Waterside Hotel and Leisure Club Cheadle – a 15-20 minute walk from our workshop venue, and has a pool & spa
