The nearest public parking is available at the Washington Galleries Shopping Centre, specifically in the Orange and Blue multi-storey car parks, both within a 7-minute walk south-east of the venue. Fees apply, and congestion can be significant during peak shopping hours or on event nights, making advance booking via parking apps advisable where available. Limited street parking may be found, but it is often restricted and cannot be relied upon.
Entry and security
The main entrance for all ticket holders is located on the north side of the building, facing the primary access road. Queues typically form outside this entrance, managed by barriers.

For popular events, arriving 30-45 minutes before the advertised doors open time is recommended to navigate security checks and secure a preferred vantage point.
