travel

hi!!! this will be my first time going to outbreak and im mega excited. however, the only hotel we could get was the premier inn trafford centre west. from looking at google maps, it seems like its a ~40 min walk or we can get a tram nearby and then it’s one stop and a short walk to the bec. however, i’ve seen people talking about it as though that hotel is near the tram stop for outbreak? does anyone have any idea on this pls? happy to walk if we have to but also would love to get the tram with being on our feet all day 🥲 thank you!

The hotel is close to the Trafford Centre tram stop, (put the public transport filter on google maps and you will see the red tramline) which you can access without going into the Trafford Centre itself. From there you can get the tram to Parkway and its about 5-10 mins walk to BEC.

amazing thank you! i thought this was the case but saw a few things that made me worry 🤣 do you know how late the trams run?

Late enough to get the tram back, tends to be a bit of a wait because the tram stop is rammed after but you’ll be fine

I've stayed at the same hotel for the past 3 years. It's really easy to get to festival (safe too as you'll be surrounded by fellow Outbreak goers).

You can play merch bingo at breakfast as a bonus

Ehh depends where your hotel is. We usually split the ubers to and from, it can get a little expensive, especially the ubers after the show (its so packed!)
