How do I get there by car and is there parking nearby? (Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle)Updated 7 days ago

How to get there by Car or Coach

The Metro Radio Arena Newcastle is only 3 minutes from the A1 North - South route. Take the A184 signposted 'City Centre', then follow the A189 over the Redheugh Bridge. When in the vicinity of the Arena, follow the signs to the appropriate car parks.

Our full address for your sat nav is - Metro Radio Arena, Arena Way, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 7NA

Arena Event Car Parking

There are over 600 convenient Official Car Park spaces available on site at the rear of the building that offer;

  • CCTV cameras
  • Regular security patrols

Alternatively, when our Car Park is full, we recommend using the NCP Car Park located next to the Arena, with its entrance on Redheugh Bridge Road.

Cars with wheelchair patrons can park at the Arena subject to availability on a first come first served basis. Pre-booking is not available.

Dropping Off & Picking Up

Dropping off can be made along Railway Street. You are advised to collect people from an area away from the Arena as it is likely that you will become involved in heavy traffic.

For many shows the road at the front of the building, Redheugh Bridge Road, will be closed for pedestrian safety and approach should be made via Pottery Lane from the east, or up Shot Factory Lane from Skinnerburn Road next to the river.

Taxis

Taxis can pick up on Railway Street/Arena Way before and after events. There is also a taxi rank at Central Station.

 

Disabled Parking

Accessible parking is available free of charge on site with the display of a valid blue badge (badge holder must be present & subject to availability)
