Asked about the venue
About Wythenshawe Park
What time is the curfew at Wythenshawe Park?
22:30. Live from Wythenshawe Park applies the same one to every night — "The music curfew for each show is 22:30" — and there is no re-entry once you are through the gate, so a trip back to the car is a one-way trip.
Are set times published in advance for Live from Wythenshawe Park?
No. The organisers say they "will send out show-specific information ahead of the event" and ask ticket-holders to "keep an eye on your emails and social media for set times", so stage times arrive by email rather than appearing on the website. Gate times are published with the line-up though: in 2026 that was 4.30pm for The Cure and Pulp, 4pm for Lewis Capaldi, and 3pm for Courteeners and The Prodigy.
