Drivers need to register their car registration at reception on arrival (newportlive.co.uk). The official visitor information lists Friars Walk, Kingsway Centre and NCC as the nearest car parks (newportlive.co.uk). A small pay-and-display car park just past the Alacrity building starts at £1 for up to 3 hours and is free after 6.30pm (visitmidwales.co.uk). Newport Live lists opening hours of Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, for visitor enquiries (newportlive.co.uk). The outside pay-and-display area is described as limited, so the centre's 56-space facility is the most direct option when arriving for a performance (hynt.co.uk). ## Parksy Parking Near Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre A [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) space in Newport is 307 yd from RTAC and costs £52 a month. This option suits drivers who need regular access rather than a single visit. A daily space at St Woolos Hospital is also 307 yd away and costs £3.75 a day. A disabled bay in Newport is 0.2 mi from the site and costs £12 a day. For a slightly longer walk, a space near Richmond Clinic is 0.3 mi away at £4.10 a day. A secure garage space in Newport is 0.3 mi away and costs £60 a month, while 24/7 parking at Asda Newport Pillgwenlly is 0.4 mi away at £4 an hour. Show map of Newport ## Friars Walk and Other Newport Parking Choices Friars Walk is named by Newport Live as one of the nearest car parks to the site, and it is opposite RTAC (newportlive.co.uk; hynt.co.uk). The BBC also places parking under the Friars Walk Shopping Centre, making it a useful named alternative when the outside riverside spaces are limited (bbc.co.uk). Kingsway Centre and NCC are also listed by Newport Live as nearby car parks (newportlive.co.uk). These options place drivers close to Kingsway without relying on the limited outside pay-and-display area along the riverfront. The small pay-and-display car park just past the Alacrity building offers [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) after 6.30pm, while charges start at £1 for up to 3 hours (visitmidwales.co.uk). ## Busy Performance Parking and Rules Around Kingsway Parking pressure is highest when performances, events, films and exhibitions bring visitors to RTAC, because the outside riverside car park has limited spaces (newportlive.co.uk; hynt.co.uk). The official centre car park provides 56 spaces and accessible spaces, with free parking for 3 hours when the vehicle registration is registered at reception (newportlive.co.uk). Drivers attending longer events should allow time for the three-hour allowance and the registration process. The riverside pay-and-display area is just past the Alacrity building, while Friars Walk parking is opposite the venue (visitmidwales.co.uk; hynt.co.uk). These entry points help separate the limited outside spaces from the larger named alternatives around the shopping centre and Kingsway. ## Walking From Newport Dock Street Railway Station to RTAC Newport Dock Street railway station is the nearest station, at 0.5 mi from the site and an 11-minute walk. Rail is therefore a practical alternative for visitors who want to avoid event parking around Kingsway. RTAC is on Kingsway, 308 yd from Newport centre. Drivers using a Parksy space can choose between the 307 yd options, the 0.2 mi disabled bay, spaces 0.3 mi away, and the 0.4 mi Asda Newport Pillgwenlly option, with the walking distance increasing as the parking point moves farther from Kingsway.
