The postcode for our car park differs to the main building, please use NE8 2BA for sat nav systems. Our car park has 270 spaces, including designated disabled parking bays and motorcycle bays. The car park is chargeable onsite, with machines accepting chip and PIN cards, and cash. Please note that they do not accept contactless payment, including Apple Pay. Blue badge holders can ask for a free exit pass at our Box Office or Stage Door. The pedestrian access is 180m from our East door (Millennium Bridge side of the building) or 190m from our West door (Tyne Bridge side of the building).

• Up to 1 hour: £1.90
• Up to 2 hours: £3.50
• 2 hours or more: £4.80 – Pre-payment required before entering the building.

Don’t forget, if you’re staying for 2 hours or more and don’t pre-pay, an hourly rate of £1.90 will apply. Pre-payment charges will cover you until 6am the following day, at which point an hourly rate of £1.90 applies. To Pre-pay for your parking you just need to take a ticket from the entry barrier and load it in one of the 3 payment machines before entering the building.

Payment machines are available at the top and bottom of the car park stairs. You can pay by cash or debit/credit card and the machines provide change. Please note contactless payments are not currently available.

Try not to lose your ticket! We’ll have to charge £20 if you do.

We have a number of priority spaces for Blue Badge holders near our entrances, as well as in our car park (spaces are right by the lifts.) In fact, Blue Badge bays account for 15% of our car parking spaces. Parking is free at all times for Blue Badge Holders – just go to our Box Office with your ticket and registration details. Here’s some useful information:

• To the West of the building in the ‘turning circle’ used for public transport and drop offs there are 3 Blue Badge bays. These are the closest spaces available, with a short flat surfaced walk to the main doors (approximately 40 average steps).
• There are  also 34 blue badge bays to the rear of the building, providing flat gently sloping path-ways to both the West and East entrances (both entrances have accessible automatic doorways).
• If you choose to park in our car park, please be aware that it is above ground level. You can either take the stairs down to ground level, or use one of our two fully accessible lifts. All of our lifts, including those in the car park have Braille signage.

Please note the priority spaces for Blue Badge holders are not operated via ourselves. Please ensure that your Blue Badge permit is prominently displayed.

From time to time our car park is closed, but don’t worry, any changes will be noted on this website.
