Event-Day Parking at Bristol Old Vic
The venue advises that metered parking is available on Welsh Back and Queen Square (bristololdvic.org.uk). These are the named on-street options in the venue’s getting-here guidance, rather than a dedicated theatre car park, so they suit drivers who want to park close to King Street before a performance.
There are three disabled parking bays on Queen Charlotte Street, and Blue Badge holders park for free (bristololdvic.org.uk). The venue asks visitors to book taxis for both drop-off and pick-up at Bristol Old Vic (bristololdvic.org.uk), which is useful when a show ends and pedestrian or traffic movements make a kerbside stop difficult.
