Parking at Cardiff University - Temple of Peace
The Temple of Peace is at King Edward VII Avenue in Cardiff’s Civic Centre, near Castle. Cardiff University identifies the venue as part of its Cathays Park campus, with the Temple of Peace listed at Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3AP (cardiff.ac.uk). University visitor information also lists Park Place, Cardiff, CF10 3QN, as a campus location (cardiff.ac.uk).
The Temple of Peace’s visitor information describes the Main Hall as having 200-person theatre-style capacity, so event visitors should distinguish public pay-and-display bays from university fleet parking (cardiff.ac.uk).
Busy Periods Around the Civic Centre Campus
Parking pressure is likely to be highest during Cardiff University term-time activity and sizeable Temple of Peace bookings. The venue’s Main Hall has 200-person theatre-style capacity (cardiff.ac.uk), making event arrival periods particularly relevant for visitors driving to a meeting or ceremony.
Undergraduate Open Day arrangements allow attendees to use general parking and pay-as-you-go bays in selected university car parks, but not university fleet parking (cardiff.ac.uk). The surrounding pay-and-display streets include Park Place, College Road, City Hall Road, King Edward VII Avenue and Museum Avenue (AccessAble), while the venue also has metered on-street parking nearby (cymru.global). These restrictions and controls matter most when university visitors, civic-centre events and city-centre traffic overlap.
