Event-Day Parking at Contact Theatre
Contact Theatre does not have a car park, so drivers need to arrange parking away from the building before arriving for a performance (contactmcr.com). The venue is on Oxford Road in Chorlton-on-Medlock, near Rusholme, and the official travel advice names the University of Manchester car park on Cecil Street and Q-Park Manchester Hospitals as nearby options (contactmcr.com).
Access parking is available through the Box Office team, which handles requests for an access parking space (contactmcr.com). The venue’s listed opening times are Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, while event attendance can extend beyond those hours (contactmcr.com). Oxford Road is the main approach, and the absence of an on-site car park makes pre-arranging a space particularly useful for evening shows.

The official venue guidance names these two facilities but does not provide their rates in the published travel advice. Access parking requests should go through the Box Office team, according to the venue’s access information (contactmcr.com).

Street Restrictions Around Oxford Road
Contact Theatre is at Oxford Road, Manchester M15 6JA, in Chorlton-on-Medlock near Rusholme (manchester.gov.uk).
