The theatre’s visitor information says the car park is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with an evening rate of £2 for arrivals after 6pm, while another venue page gives the after-6pm rate as £2.50 (wolseytheatre.co.uk).

A public car park on Civic Drive is within 200 metres of the building, with Blue Badge bays available (accessable.co.uk). Ipswich Borough Council runs short-stay and long-stay car parks around the town centre and provides live space information (ipswich.gov.uk). ## Civic Drive Restrictions During Busy Ipswich Evenings Civic Drive is the venue address, placing theatre parking in Ipswich town centre rather than on a residential side street. The council’s car-park information covers short-stay and long-stay facilities around the centre, so drivers attending an evening show should use marked parking rather than treating nearby kerbs as event parking (ipswich.gov.uk). The venue’s own directions identify the car park and its evening tariff, while Ipswich Borough Council provides live occupancy information for council facilities (wolseytheatre.co.uk; ipswich.gov.uk).
