Getting to the Show
Driving
10 minutes from the M6.
15 minutes from M61.
There are several car parks around the venue. Many say they are free but actually they are free for 2 hours and because they are ANPR, if anyone stays more than 2 hours they will get a ticket.
The best place to go is the £6.50 (all day) car parks shown on the attached map which are to the left of the road which comes down from the Red Robin Pub towards the stadiums. This is an App only Carpark so download the RingGo App first.
There is a foot path shown on the map
It is a lot cheaper than a parking fine or, come by train and get the bus
Alternative car parks:
The alternative is to visit the Wigan Council website who are advertising free all day parking at the weekends
