Capital FM Nottingham car parking?

Hi all,

We have an event next weekend at the Capital FM Nottingham Arena and I am trying to find somewhere suitable to park.
I have looked at Stoney Street NCP, which is ideally placed as I cannot walk far without pain but - it is quoting me £18.00 non-member or £16.20 member to park there 8am-4pm! And I thought our local hospital car parking was a rip-off! However, I found something online that says 'People can now park at the Stoney Street NCP car park all day for £3.50, if they arrive before 9am, under a new "early bird" deal'. Does anyone know if this still applies?
If not, just how far away is Maid Marion Way car park? Will I be able to hobble to the Arena easily or is it a trek?
Many thanks :)

  • There's Fletcher Gate car park. I've just had a look and up to eight hours is £13.00 and up to 24 hours is £15. Have you looked at the Park and Ride? You could also park your car outside the city centre and get a taxi or a bus. There are special bus tickets called Eventrider which cost £2 for transport to and from an event (instead of an all day ticket which costs £3.50).

    Maid marian way is on the other side of town. Dont park there for the arena. It is a long walk.

    The shopping center car parks are cheaper but still at least a 10minute walk away (broadmarsh and Victoria center)

    Use the new tram service from junction 25 or 26 of the M1,the parking is free and the tram stops approx 150 yards from the venue and I think the price for is £2.20 each return

    Hi Miley the early bird deal still applies it's clear on the website - before 9 am its £7 for all day.

    "Our Early Bird price is available when you park between 06.00-09.00am and exit before 23.59 on the same day. For shorter stays between 06:00-09:00am our standard tariff is still available. Please press the assistance button at a pay station so we can adjust the cost of your stay.

    Hope that helps!
