Booked tickets for Parklife festival in the summer without checking the logistics of somewhere to stay first.

Can anyone recommend budget hotels as just somewhere to get a few hours kip that’s not In a hedge?

Everywhere so far has been north of £200 per night

What kind of music is it? I just looked up the line up and had only heard of 50 cents.

When the shithole that is the Britannia in town wants £800 for those three nights you’re going to struggle!
 
Hotel Football is available for £349.

Seriously though, those prices. £1600 for a small cottage nearby? Wow.

You're probably looking at somewhere a bit further out. The Strawbury Duck at Entwistle is showing on Booking.com as £160. You can get a train from the station next door into Bolton or Victoria every hour but getting back would be tight as last train is 11:07 from Vic or 23:28 from Bolton (taxi from Heaton Park about 30 mins). Loads of beer choices at the pub if that's your thing.
 
Looks like you have made the schoolboy error of not looking at hotels before buying your ticket.
I believe there is a late running Blackpool North service so you may get cheaper hotels on that line.

That train is notorious for running late / cancellations etc.

Id just plan to sleep in a hedge. plenty to chose from in Heaton Park.
 
There's a few small hotels in the vicinity of Heaton Park. Two I know of are the Hazeldean, on Bury New Road and Westlynne Lodge on Middleton Road. Both in reasonable walking distance. They might be worth a try as they're off the usual Booking.com/Hotels.com radar usually. There's a few other small B&B's/hotels but can't think of the names of these off the top of my head.
 
i was also looking at the 11th June when the Killers play at the cricket ground, we were going to head to town afterwards and get a hotel but minimum of £350 per night is a bit steep for a few hours kip.
 
There’s a Premier Inn in Prestwich next to TGI Fridays and the big Tesco. Right on the roundabout at J17.
