All-day parking convenient to Big Fish & Belfast Met

Options
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice. I work close the the 'Big Fish' in Belfast city centre and am about to commence a course at the Belfast Met, Titanic Quarter at nights, one day per week.

The issue: To park all day beside work it will be £3.60, ideally I would then travel to the Met & park in their underground carpark until late at night. This costs £1 per hour. In total this means for parking I will spend around £7.60 for the day.

I'm trying to work out a way of not needing to walk too far late at night from the Met during the winter months. While busing it would be a lot cheaper, I would need to get two buses to get home which would take a long time.

Is there anywhere I can park for free around 5.15-9.15pm near odyssey/Met? Or any other bright ideas will be appreciated!

    I am fairly sure the Odyseey do some sort of monthly parking arrangement, as the Citi Bank people use it a lot. Used to be able to park on Sydenham road for free, but no longer. Eastside park and ride would effectively free (maybe?) as the kiosk man goes home about 7 or 8ish? So in theory you could park there all day for free maybe? (Too good to be true though!) Although it is a long walk from the Met at Queen's Road.

    Does the titanic building do any all day parking?

    The Odyssey does indeed do monthly parking - give them a shout and see what the prices are; I believe they *may* be around £70 per month.
  • I believe the odyssey car park is £3 per day up til 8 then pay by the hour if you get a prepaid card from them
  • where do you park beside the big fish???? I will be looking for parking thereabouts, and had been parking in the Odyssey which was reasonable and a nice walk in the mornings. I am coming back to work in Belfast from Lisburn, and I think you can still get a monthly ticket.
