Parking Beside The Tolhouse Gaol in Great Yarmouth
The museum is on Tolhouse Street, Great Yarmouth, NR30 2SH, near Northgate. Norfolk Museums Service says restricted on-street parking is available close to the museum, with several well-signposted car parks nearby (tolhousegaol.norfolk.gov.uk).
Road parking close to the building is limited, while public pay and display car parks are available nearby (tolhousegaol.norfolk.gov.uk). The site does not have a dedicated visitor car park identified in the official directions, so drivers should plan to use the surrounding town-centre facilities rather than rely on finding a space on Tolhouse Street.
Norfolk Museums Service also directs group visitors towards several well-signposted car parks near the museum (tolhousegaol.norfolk.gov.uk). This makes a nearby public car park the more practical choice when arriving at a busy time or travelling with several people.
Parksy Spaces Near Tolhouse Street
The closest listed option is a driveway space in Great Yarmouth at Napier Howard Street, 199 yards away, priced at £5.15 a day. It suits a longer visit better than hourly parking because the rate is charged by the day.
Two spaces are listed 0.3 miles away: a space at Millwood Surgery in Bradwell, Norfolk, priced at £3.10 an hour, and outdoor Stashbee parking spaces in Great Yarmouth, priced at £50 a month.

Busy Times and Street Parking Around the Museum
Tolhouse Street has restricted on-street parking close to the museum, according to Norfolk Museums Service (tolhousegaol.norfolk.gov.uk). The restriction makes kerbside parking less dependable than using a signed public car park, particularly when several visitors arrive at once.
The official visitor information describes the road parking as limited and confirms that public pay and display car parks are nearby (tolhousegaol.norfolk.gov.uk). Drivers using surrounding streets therefore need to follow the local parking controls shown at the space, rather than treating nearby kerbside areas as unrestricted museum parking.
