Event-Day Parking at The Lighthouse
The venue’s Lighthouse/Merck multi-storey car park has 185 standard spaces, 4 disabled spaces and 3 motorbike spaces, with parking app code 3212 (bcpcouncil.gov.uk). Its public-use hours are Monday to Friday from 6.30pm to 10pm, Saturday from 2pm and Sunday for 24 hours (lighthousepoole.co.uk). This makes the car park especially useful for evening performances and weekend shows, but daytime weekday visitors need to account for its permit-holder restrictions.
The venue identifies Swimming Poole car park and BCP’s car park on Seldown Lane as nearby alternatives (lighthousepoole.co.uk). Disabled parking spaces are available in all Poole car parks, while designated setting-down and collection bays are immediately outside the entrance (lighthousepoole.co.uk).
