Parking at Theatre Royal & the Drum on Event Days
The venue’s dedicated multi-storey car park is behind the theatre on Old George Street, PL1 2TR, making it the most direct option for a performance at Derry’s Cross (accesscard.online). The facility has 16 disabled spaces on level 1, which gives accessible visitors a clearly identified parking area close to the auditorium (accesscard.online).
A longer performance or post-show meal can therefore move the stay into the six-hour or 24-hour tariff, rather than the shorter bands.
Event-Day Restrictions Around Derry’s Cross and Old George Street
The venue’s directions describe several nearby car parks, including a multi-storey car park behind Theatre Royal Parade, so drivers do not need to rely on kerbside space immediately around the theatre (theatreroyal.com). The dedicated facility’s entry location on Old George Street places arrivals behind the main theatre frontage (accesscard.online).
Parking around TRD is therefore best planned around signed car-park access rather than an assumed stop outside the entrance. The Theatre Royal car park operates as pay and display, so a vehicle left there for a performance needs to be covered by the applicable stay period (plymouth.gov.uk).
