Show map of Bradford ## Busy Times and Street Parking Near the Bradford Museum Quarter Parking pressure is likely to rise when visitors combine the museum’s free galleries with its three cinemas, including the UK’s first IMAX (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk). The site is on Pictureville in central Bradford, where short museum visits and longer cinema sessions create different demands on nearby spaces. Sharpe Street and Radwell Drive are council-operated car parks and charges apply (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk). Sharpe Street’s 2m vehicle height restriction is particularly important for taller vans and roof-loaded cars (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk). The museum identifies Sharpe Street as the closest car park, so it can be the first place to fill during busy visitor periods (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk). ## Broadway and Other Bradford Car Parks for NSMM Visits The Broadway car park provides pre-bookable evening parking for £4, according to the museum’s visitor information (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk). This is a useful named alternative for evening cinema trips when a pre-booked space is more convenient than looking for a bay after arriving in central Bradford. Hall Ings [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) Car Park is another named option used by visitors to the museum area. A reported tariff is £6 for 3 hours, £8 for 4 hours or £12 for 4 to 24 hours (northeastfamilyfun.co.uk).
