Dyke Road Parking Controls Around BOAT
Street parking for BOAT is concentrated on Dyke Road and the surrounding streets, where pay-and-display bays apply rather than free venue parking (brightonopenairtheatre.co.uk). Drivers arriving for an evening show should allow time to find a legal bay before walking into the park.
BOAT sits within a park, and the theatre has been operating there since 2015 (housetheatre.org.uk). The published venue advice identifies pay-and-display street parking as the relevant parking arrangement for the site, so event-day parking depends on the signed restrictions on the road used.
Parksy Parking Spaces Within 0.4 Miles of BOAT
