Motorpoint Arena Nottingham: parking and drop-off guide
Last checked 14 November 2026 by Alpine Chauffeurs, Nottingham
Quick answer
Motorpoint Arena Nottingham has no car park of its own. There are several city-centre car parks within a 10-minute walk, and the arena recommends booking ahead. Blue Badge holders can use the council's Dean Street car park next to the arena, first come first served, or the Blue Badge spaces on Barker Gate.
Where to park
Every car park near the arena is a public city-centre car park, and on show nights they fill early. Book a space ahead if you can, and expect queues to get out after the encore when 10,000 people leave at once.
- The Victoria Centre car park is about a 9-minute walk from the arena.
- Dean Street, beside the arena, is a council-run Blue Badge car park. It can't be booked in advance.
- There are Blue Badge spaces on Barker Gate, opposite the arena, and on-street parking on nearby streets.
Getting there without driving
Nottingham station is a short walk, tram or taxi ride from the arena, and the tram network has Park & Ride sites around the city. Coming from further away? The arena says East Midlands Airport is around 35 minutes by car.
Getting dropped off and collected
The arena doesn't list an official drop-off zone, and the streets around Bolero Square get very busy. We drop you as close as the roads and restrictions allow, then agree a pickup point a short walk away from the crowd and text you exactly where the car is.
The arena's address is Bolero Square, The Lace Market, Nottingham NG1 1LA.
