O2 Apollo Manchester, door to door

The O2 Apollo Manchester on Stockport Road has been a landmark at Ardwick Green since it opened as a cinema in 1938. Its white Art Deco front hides a 3,500-capacity venue that hosts touring bands, big-name comedians and the occasional musical.

Gigs here often finish late on a weeknight, which is when a long drive home or the last train back to West Lancashire becomes a chore. We take your group door to door, so everyone can enjoy the night.

Drop-off
