Parking Information

There is a multi-storey car park on site 100m from the Theatre entrance on Butts Road (The Albany does NOT control the car park). 

NB this car park is pay on exit and only accepts CASH or online payments via an app – CONNECT CASHLESS PARKING –  that some people can find fiddly to use. We are told the payment machines are to be updated to accept card payments. If that happens we will be very pleased to announce it!

Alternatively, the car park for Coventry Rugby Club is only a few yards further down the road on the left and is cheaper and many say it is easier to use.

To access either car park from the ring road (Junction 7) drive past the main entrance of the former college towards the Butts Arena and the entrance is on the left at the traffic lights – it is well signed,

There are limited spaces (including Blue Badge) directly in front of the building (pay and display), both run by Excel Parking, the car park company.

If you park at the front outside a marked bay or do not pay you will receive a Parking Charge Notice (£100).

There is a 2m height restriction on the multi-storey car park. Both car parks operated by Excel Parking accept coins only. . Please note: there is no barrier – an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is in place. You pay on exit and prices range from £0.50 for an hour, to £5.00 for 24 hours. Saturday-Sunday parking is £3.00 all day.

Blue Badge Holders – you must pay for parking either at the front of the building or in the multi-storey.

There is a ramp for access to the Theatre

There is often a significant queue for the payment machines after a show but if you download the app you can pay for your parking before you leave the Car Park. Details can be found on the signage
