Parking Arrangements for Friday 15th July Clare Teal & Her Trio
Visitors attending this event are advised that Wigan Warriors are playing at the DW Stadium (opposite the Concert Hall) on the same evening. As such there will be additional pressure on Car Parking. We have arranged for the exclusive use of two Car Parks. Car Parks are located on Loire Drive and you are advised to look out for the Jazz Festival Car Parks signs on the evening.
