The venue is in Civic Centre, near Cathays, at Park Place, Cardiff, CF10 3QN, so drivers need to use surrounding streets or a separate car park. The Great Hall is Cardiff Union’s largest venue, with capacity for 1500 people (cardiffstudents.com). Its entrance is on Senghennydd Road (cardiffstudents.com), which is useful when choosing a drop-off point or planning the final approach. Limited street parking is available on Senghennydd Road within 20-400m and is currently free (cardiffboxoffice.com). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Great Hall Parksy lists a driveway space on Richmond Road, CF24, 0.2 mi from the venue at £6.50 an hour. A space near Hilton Cardiff, CF10 3ND, is 0.3 mi away at £4.80 a day, while a space at Crwys Road, Cardiff, CF24, is also 0.3 mi away at £4.50 an hour. Two 0.4 mi options are listed at £4.50 an hour: a secure 24/7 Cardiff space near the city centre and a secure 24/7 garage in central Cardiff, priced at £25 a day. A further space at Leonardo Hotel, Cardiff, CF10, is 0.4 mi away at £8.58 an hour. The 0.2 mi Richmond Road walk is the shortest listed route for a show or match, while the 0.4 mi spaces allow a longer walk after the event. Show map of Cathays ## Street Parking and Enforcement Near Senghennydd Road Street parking is limited on Senghennydd Road, with spaces extending from 20-400m from the Great Hall (cardiffboxoffice.com). The road is also the venue entrance route (cardiffstudents.com), so available bays can be especially useful for short arrivals and departures rather than relying on finding a space immediately outside. The venue’s published guidance describes the Senghennydd Road parking as currently free (cardiffboxoffice.com). The Cardiff Students’ Union states that on-street parking is available in the vicinity (cardiffstudents.com). Drivers attending a 1500-capacity event should allow time to walk from a legal space because the limited bays can be occupied before doors open. ## Other Cardiff Parking Choices for a Great Hall Visit Cardiff Students’ Union describes the Union as a city-centre location with no onsite parking and points visitors towards on-street parking in the vicinity (cardiffstudents.com). The venue information places the Great Hall entrance on Senghennydd Road (cardiffstudents.com), making nearby city-centre and Civic Centre parking the practical alternatives for drivers who do not use a Parksy space. Cardiff University’s visitor information specifically provides guidance for gigs in the Great Hall and identifies the Students’ Union within Cathays Park campus (cardiff.ac.uk). The same page records 8 bicycle parking spaces for the building (cardiff.ac.uk), which may suit visitors combining a drive with a cycle from a more distant parking location. ## Walking From Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Central Stations Cardiff Queen Street railway station is the nearest station, 0.5 mi from Cardiff Students Union Great Hall and a 12 min walk. The distance makes rail a practical alternative for visitors travelling into Civic Centre, near Cathays, especially when nearby street parking is occupied. Cardiff Central railway station is about an 18 min walk from the venue. Both stations provide a way to avoid searching for a space around the 1500-capacity Great Hall, while the final approach remains on foot to the Park Place and Senghennydd Road area.
