The nearest car park is The Bridges multi-storey, a short walk from the theatre (atgtickets.com). The Bridges has 940 spaces and provides access parking and lifts on all levels (thebridges-shopping.com). The Bridges is open from 7:00am to 11:30pm, with a reduced fee of £1 per hour after 6PM (thebridges-shopping.com; atgtickets.com). That closing time is useful for evening performances, although a late finish gives less margin for collecting your car. Limited Blue Badge parking is available outside the Fire Station near the theatre, with an area also available for drop-off (atgtickets.com). ## High Street West Restrictions Around the Venue The theatre address is 1-3 High Street West, Sunderland, SR1 3EX, placing event traffic in Sunderland city centre. The venue's nearest parking guidance identifies The Bridges multi-storey as the closest car park and describes it as a short walk away (atgtickets.com). Drivers using a Blue Badge can use the limited bays outside the Fire Station near the theatre, while the nearby area can be used for passenger drop-off (atgtickets.com). Show map of Sunderland ## The Bridges and St Mary's Car Park Alternatives The Bridges multi-storey is the principal named alternative, with 940 spaces and access parking and lifts on all levels (thebridges-shopping.com). It is open from 7:00am to 11:30pm, and the theatre's ticketing guidance gives a reduced fee of £1 per hour after 6PM (thebridges-shopping.com; atgtickets.com). St Mary's car park offers 480 spaces across four floors and is open daily from 6am to midnight (sunderland.gov.uk). The council also lists an overnight parking evening fee of £1 for St Mary's (sunderland.gov.uk). These two multi-storey choices suit drivers who want a named city-centre facility rather than relying on kerbside parking around High Street West. ## Parksy Spaces Close to Sunderland Empire Theatre The closest Parksy option is a secure 24/7 parking lot, 88 yd away, priced at £7.50 a day. A Holiday Inn space in SR1 is 261 yd away and costs £3.70 an hour, while a secure Stashbee space in Sunderland is 0.3 mi away at £64 a month.
