Hi all,

I ma be going to Newcastle some time around Easter, and wondered if anyone knew of any cheap or free parking? Does it have a park and ride scheme?

The football ground has parking and is only 30pence an hour (only when Newcastle are not playing at home other wise it is closed) or all car parks are £1 all day on a sunday.

I know there's a car park at the Civic Centre (right in between the two uni's and reight next to town)where you can park at the weekend. They have an underground car park too. I think it's fairly cheap as well!! (I normally walk into town cos I don't live that far)

You can park for free at the MetroCentre in Gateshead (there's loads of spaces, as you'd expect) and get the train/bus into Newcastle (5mins).

Think of it as an "unofficial" park and ride with the added bonus of being next to the MetroCentre, should you want to visit!

There is a park and ride in Newcastle city centre, follow signs off central motorway. Only open on a saturday and is 40p an hour and bus is free. You can also walk into the city from that car park (about a 10 min walk to the main centre).

Car parks fees vary greatly around the city. The majority can be very expensive ie up to £1.00 an hour and more. Those that are cheaper get full quickly, especially on sunday when it is a £1 flat rate all day.

Like someone else mentioned, the Metro Centre, about 15-20 mins away, is free parking.

It all depends on wher you are staying as to where you park and how you get in the city.

Could Park at one of the metro stations - think all free on Sundays or it is street parking near the metro. Kingston Park -Tesco car park. Kenton Bank Foot - has own car park. Black Callerton - has own car park.:rotfl:
