Event-Day Parking Near the Palace Theatre
The venue is at 90-92 Union Street, 0.5 mi from Plymouth centre. The council-listed Theatre Royal car park is a pay-and-display multi-storey car park, with parking for 2 hours at £4, 3 hours at £5, 4 hours at £6, 6 hours at £7, 24 hours at £15 and a weekly rate of £60 (plymouth.gov.uk).

The Theatre Royal directions page says several car parks are nearby, including a multi-storey car park behind Theatre Royal Parade, with accessible parking available near the theatre (theatreroyal.com). The council states that payment can be made by phone at the Theatre Royal car park (plymouth.gov.uk). The venue address should be entered carefully because another Palace Theatre listing describes a disused building at 121-123 Union Street (theatrestrust.org.uk).
Named Plymouth Car Parks for a Palace Visit
Theatre Royal car park is the clearest named alternative in the local council information: it is a pay-and-display multi-storey car park behind Theatre Royal Parade, with a 24-hour charge of £15 and a weekly charge of £60 (plymouth.gov.uk).
The Theatre Royal directions page also identifies several nearby car parks and places one multi-storey facility behind Theatre Royal Parade (theatreroyal.com). For a performance at the venue on Union Street, these named central options are more useful starting points than searching randomly around the surrounding streets.
Parksy Spaces Within Walking Range of the Palace
Parksy lists a priced parking space in Plymouth, 0.3 mi from the venue, at £12 a day. A second priced space near Holiday Inn Plymouth in PL1 is also 0.3 mi away and costs £3.70 a day. Both are close enough to leave the car before a performance rather than relying on a space directly outside the entrance.
Arundel Crescent has two priced options 0.4 mi away: one costs £3.29 an hour and another costs £6.25 an hour. White Friars Lane has a priced space 0.5 mi away at £1.19 an hour, while a priced space at The Plymouth Nuffield Hospital is 0.5 mi away at £4 a day.
Union Street Restrictions and Enforcement for Events
The venue sits on Union Street, while the council-listed Theatre Royal car park is behind Theatre Royal Parade (plymouth.gov.uk). The Theatre Royal directions page identifies accessible parking near the theatre (theatreroyal.com). These locations separate event parking from stopping directly on the main approach to the venue.
Parking on a marked bay is distinct from stopping on Union Street, and the council describes the Theatre Royal facility as pay and display (plymouth.gov.uk). The available venue directions identify nearby car parks rather than a dedicated event-day road-closure plan (theatreroyal.com). A driver heading to a busy performance should therefore use a named car park or reserved space instead of treating the street outside the entrance as event parking.
Plymouth Station and the Walk to the Palace Theatre
Plymouth railway station is the nearest station, 0.7 mi from the venue, with a 15-minute walk. Rail is therefore a practical alternative for visitors who would rather avoid driving into central Plymouth for a performance.
The Palace Theatre is 0.5 mi from Plymouth centre. From the station, the 15-minute walk is longer than the distance from the city centre, but it avoids finding a space close to Union Street and returning to the car after the show.
