This is another Park & Ride that is easier to get to than the one by the football stadium. Its also on the east side of Cardiff where most folk will be coming in from. As a resident of Cardiff I would suggest this one over the other, the traffic by the football stadium I always find to be not the best, and this one is right on the link road that joins onto the M4.
Otherwise there is a cheap multistory on rlPellett Streetrl which I use most weeks and will cost £6 max for the day and is within easy walking distance to to the stadium. Also there is an open air pay and display one right next door, but I have never used that so I cannot tell you the cost there.

Isn't the last bus for the east side park & ride around 1830, which is tight given the Wales game kicks off at 1630 ?

Its 7pm, which should be do-able if you go straight from the stadium to the bus. Also, that Park & Ride is £3 not the £6 that the suggested one is. I mentioned the multi-storey as an alternative with no time issues. |

Might give that a go. I'm only travelling from Magor, and usually park on the NCP at Westgate St , which is expensive, but convenient for the shops ( I hate queuing for St David's Centre parking), however I'm guessing the roads that close to the stadium might be closed on Saturday?

That NCP is really expensive £18.20 for anything up to 24 hours, while Pellett Street is £6 for the same time. Crazy! |

Useful thread as we'll be driving over from the east of England. Will try the park and ride depending on what time I make it over there.

Sorted out train tickets on the weekend fairly easy. Manchester to Cardiff direct for £40~ - with railcard, tho.

Will try the Pellett Street car park, hopefully there will be some spaces left by the time we get there. Will access be affected by any road closures anywhere?

Free Parking
Head towards Cathedral Road (follow signs to the SWALEC Stadium/Sophia Gardens) and there is usually spaces to be found even on RU international days.
Pay To Parik
There are lots of spaces around the University where it is a fiver to park all day and a short walk past the Castlr and your a the ground,.
As the ground is bang in the city centre there are pubs all arround it and on non match days the best is the Queens Vaults opposite the ground but no doubt it will be rammed on Saturday though they will open a bottle bar as well as the normal bar so getting served might not be so bad.

The road closures will not affect that part of the centre. When I park there even on rugby union international day there are still spaces left at midday when I leave. Best of luck. |

Due to a change in circumstances I am now travelling down tomorrow, so Wetherspoons Newport currently have one double room available for 49 pounds - doubt it will be available for long though - book online or ring 01633 844900

Great to see many fans of the RLWC visiting my local pub tonight, The Wheatsheaf in Magor.

just wanted to say this car park was a great shout - it even gave me too much change back when I came to pay, so had the whole day for £3!
Much Appreciated |
