Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Event-Day Parking Near Manchester Art Gallery Manchester Art Gallery is at 81 Princess Street, with its main entrance on Mosley Street and three disabled parking spaces on Nicholas Street and George Street (manchesterartgallery.org). For an exhibition or evening event, the venue’s own visitor guidance points drivers towards [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) car parks on Chepstow Street, Faulkner Street and Sackville Street, each within five minutes of the gallery (manchesterartgallery.org). [Q-Park](https://www.parksy.com/blog/q-park-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) identifies Q-Park Piazza as the closest secure car park, a couple of minutes’ walk from the venue (q-park.co.uk). NCP also lists nearby facilities specifically for Manchester Art Gallery and describes them as within a short walking distance (ncp.co.uk). These locations are more practical for a planned visit than trying to stop directly outside the Mosley Street entrance. ## Named Car Parks and Park-and-Ride Options for the Venue The named alternatives are NCP’s Chepstow Street, Faulkner Street and Sackville Street car parks, all identified by Manchester Art Gallery’s visitor information as being within five minutes (manchesterartgallery.org). Q-Park Piazza is another named option, described by Q-Park as the closest safe and secure car park and a couple of minutes away on foot (q-park.co.uk). For drivers comparing options before an event, NCP provides a Manchester Art Gallery parking page covering its nearby car parks, while Q-Park offers online booking for Q-Park Piazza (ncp.co.uk; q-park.co.uk). The published venue guidance does not provide a capacity figure or a parking rate for these facilities, so the useful distinction is location: the NCP choices are on three named central streets, while Q-Park Piazza is the closest named facility. Show map of Manchester ## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of Manchester Art Gallery Parksy lists a secure covered parking space in Manchester M1, 147 yards from the venue, at £75 a month. The short distance makes it suitable for a regular gallery visit or a planned evening event, with only a brief walk after the show. A space at Q-Park First Street is 231 yards away and costs £4 a month. Parksy also lists a secure covered parking lot 272 yards away at £69.30 a week, plus a secure 24/7 parking lot at the same distance for £68 a day. ## Street Restrictions Around the Gallery on Busy Days The venue’s main entrance is on Mosley Street, while disabled parking spaces are located on Nicholas Street and George Street (manchesterartgallery.org). Those streets serve the immediate access area, so a driver heading to an event should plan for a car park rather than expecting to wait outside the entrance. The venue guidance identifies the three disabled spaces but does not publish an event-day road-closure schedule or a separate enforcement timetable (manchesterartgallery.org). NCP and Q-Park direct visitors to off-street facilities near the gallery, which keeps event parking away from the entrance streets (ncp.co.uk; q-park.co.uk). The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm, with exhibitions and events shown in its What's On calendar (manchesterartgallery.org). ## Manchester Stations and the Walk to the Gallery Manchester Piccadilly station is the nearest listed station, 0.5 miles from Manchester Art Gallery and a 10-minute walk. Manchester Exchange railway station is approximately an 11-minute walk away, while Manchester Mayfield railway station is approximately 12 minutes on foot. The gallery address is 81 Princess Street, City Centre, Manchester, M1 4HR, placing all three stations within a walkable central area.
