Tram, train or bus?
For the tram, use Lace Market. The venue says it is about a 5-minute walk and that trams run about every 7 minutes until midnight. For the train, use Nottingham station and continue on foot, by tram or by taxi.

Plan the journey home before the show
The venue publishes a tram service until about midnight, not a guarantee that the tram you want will still be running when you leave. Check the NET timetable against your show.
There is a taxi rank on Lower Parliament Street. If the last tram or train does not work, compare an overnight stay before you book the tickets.
Check the whole accessible route
Flat access is via the lift on Lower Parliament Street, next to the taxi rank, or via Bolero Square off Bellar Gate. Both entrances have automatic doors. A public Blue Badge car park on Dean Street is next to the arena. The council runs it first come, first served, and it cannot be booked.
The venue uses a personal emergency evacuation plan for customers who need one. Ask when you book, or use the accessibility form. Some events change which entrance is open, so read the event page as well as the general access guide.
Driving, parking and pick-up
The venue says it is less than 30 minutes from the A52 and signposted with brown tourist signs. The satnav postcode is NG1 1LA. Use the car-parking page for public car parks.
Blue Badge bays on Dean Street cannot be reserved. The taxi rank on Lower Parliament Street is the published drop-off and pick-up. Agree a meeting point before the end of the show.
Bags and entry checks
The venue asks you not to bring a bag. Handbags and very small bags are allowed up to 35 × 40 × 19 cm. Anything larger cannot be brought in or stored, and there is no cloakroom.
Tickets are checked and people and belongings are searched, with no exceptions, at Bolero Square or Lower Parliament Street. Contact the venue in advance if you need a bag for medical reasons. Laptops and other large electronic devices are not allowed.
Where should I base an overnight stay?
Compare a stay near the arena and Lace Market with one near Nottingham station if that is where your next train leaves. Check whether the tram still runs when your show ends.
