Drivers can use pay-and-display parking on Castle Road, the official visitor guidance says (dcci.ie). Ormonde Street Car Park is also listed as a parking option for visitors to the gallery (dcci.ie). The site is 160 m from Kilkenny centre, so the central location makes a short walk practical when Castle Road spaces are occupied. ## Parksy Parking Near 3A the Parade The closest priced Parksy option is a parking space at Pembroke Hotel Kilkenny, 110 m from the gallery, priced at €2.40 an hour. It places drivers close to The Parade and avoids relying on a space directly beside the castle. For longer stays, Parksy lists a secure 24/7 commercial garage in Kilkenny, 1.2 km away, at €3 an hour. A further option is parking at MacDonagh Junction, 1.5 km away, priced at €3 an hour. Show map of Kilkenny ## Ormonde Street and Market Yard Options in Central Kilkenny Ormonde Street Car Park is named by the Design and Crafts Council as an alternative for gallery visitors (dcci.ie). It is also identified alongside Market Yard as one of the nearest public car parks for the nearby Kilkenny Design Centre (trips.ie). Market Yard provides another named public-car-park choice within the central area (trips.ie). Limited street parking is reported around the nearby design centre, making the named car parks more useful when a short walk is acceptable (trips.ie). ## Castle Road Parking Pressure and Kilkenny Event Days Street parking in the surrounding central area is limited (trips.ie). Kilkenny Arts Festival venues operate from 6 to 16 August 2026, bringing additional visitor activity to the city during those dates (kilkennyarts.ie). The gallery's position in the medieval city centre means Castle Road, The Parade and nearby public car parks are the areas most relevant to drivers approaching the site. ## Walking From Kilkenny Station to the Gallery Kilkenny railway station is the nearest rail arrival point for visitors travelling into the city, followed by a walk through the central streets to 3A The Parade. The gallery is 160 m from Kilkenny centre, keeping the final approach within the compact city area. Drivers using a central car park can leave the car outside the castle yard and continue on foot to the former stable yard, where the gallery is located beside Kilkenny Castle (discoverireland.ie). The castle setting and central address make walking from town a practical alternative to searching for a space immediately outside the entrance.
