The operator describes it as one minute from Welsh National Opera, making it the most direct named option for the site (Q-Park). It is open 24 hours a day, and CF10 4PH is the postcode to use for navigation (Wales Millennium Centre). Its Pierhead Street position is useful for performances because the entrance is opposite Wales Millennium Centre rather than within Cardiff International Sports Village. ## Parksy Parking Near Cardiff International Sports Village Parksy lists a driveway space in CF10, 0.2 miles from Cardiff Bay Opera House, at £4.50 an hour. A space at Rimini House in Cardiff Bay is 0.3 miles away and costs £8 an hour. Both are close enough to suit a short visit when the main Cardiff Bay facilities are busy. For longer stays, a secure space at Hansen Court in Cardiff is 0.5 miles away at £5 a day. A space near Grangetown Health Centre is 0.6 miles away and costs £4.20 a day. The mix of hourly and daily rates gives drivers a choice between a brief performance stop and an all-day booking. Show map of Butetown ## Event Pressure and Street Parking Around Queen's Gate Tunnel Cardiff Bay Opera House is at Queen's Gate Tunnel in Cardiff International Sports Village, near Butetown. The surrounding area also serves Wales Millennium Centre, the Red Dragon Centre, Odeon Cinema and Cardiff Bay, so evening performances can coincide with other visitor demand (Visit Cardiff). Drivers heading to a show should allow for pressure around the wider bay rather than relying on a last-minute kerbside space. Q-Park Cardiff Bay is positioned on Pierhead Street, and its 24-hour opening suits late finishes as well as daytime visits (Wales Millennium Centre). Blue Badge parking information for Cardiff Bay is available through a helpline open Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 12pm, on 029 2087 3232 (Cardiff Harbour). The published local guidance identifies named car parks and Blue Badge assistance, while parking around Queen's Gate Tunnel should follow the restrictions shown on the street signs. ## Other Named Cardiff Bay Car Parks and Free Parking Information [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) lists Cardiff parking in the city centre as an option for access to Cardiff Bay, the Millennium Stadium and Cardiff city centre (NCP). Q-Park Cardiff Bay is also described as close to Mermaid Quay, the Wales Millennium Centre, the Red Dragon Centre and Odeon Cinema (Cardiff Bay). Cardiff Harbour directs visitors seeking Blue Badge parking information to 029 2087 3232, with the helpline open Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 12pm (Cardiff Harbour). The official visitor guidance refers to several Cardiff Bay parking facilities but does not identify a free general-use car park, so the named paid facilities are the practical choices for a performance visit. ## Cardiff Bay Railway Station and the Walk to the Opera House Cardiff Bay railway station is the nearest station to Cardiff Bay Opera House, at 0.2 miles away and a four-minute walk.
