Parking

Limited free parking is available for delegates attending the ICT for Education Newcastle Conference. The car parking areas are accessed from Barrack Road.

At the traffic lights, turn into the ground and drive straightforward, past a multi-deck car park on your left. You will then see a sign for “Conference & Banqueting Car Parking”. Follow the arrow down the road, as it curves to the left and it will lead you into a multistorey car park. Guests are free to park on Level One Only.

Once parked on Level One, guests must input their car registration details into the Parking Eye computer situated in the Milburn Reception area, failure to do so will result in a parking fine. Should the unlikely event of level one of the multi-storeys being full, guests are asked to use the pay and display multi-deck car park as previously mentioned. There is a cost of
£1.20 per hour here. (pricing may change as this is a City Council owned car park).

Please note, all other parking spaces in the ground, other than those mentioned above on level one of the multi-storeys, are owned by the City Council and you require either a permit or a ticket to park there.

ICT for Educaion and Newcastle United will not be held responsible for any parking tickets received by guests
whilst attending events here. Should guests require disabled parking, the City Council bays are available on the
outskirts of the multi-storey, on the ground level.
