A family business will be closed for the weekend as thousands of visitors head to Prestwich for Parklife music festival this weekend.
Heaton Park Garden Centre, which also hosts the Hidden Gem café inside, announced that the centre and coffee shop will be closed on June 13, 14 and 15, with "normal service" set to resume on Monday, June 16.
The business apologised for any inconvenience and thanked customers for their “ongoing support”.
As Greater Manchester’s biggest festival brings thousands of visitors to town on Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15, several roads around Prestwich will be closed, along with temporary parking restrictions in place.
Welsh indie band Catfish and The Bottlemen are set to headline a show at Heaton Park on Friday, June 13.
It is not the only business impacted by the festival, with an Italian eatery across the road from the park saying this week that it has been “left with no option” but to close their doors temporarily while crowds pass through.
Prestwich restaurant L’Aquila told customers that it would “not be sustainable” for them to stay open following “a significant number of cancellations” due to Parklife road closure and “dramatically reduced footfall”.
