We are located on West Marlands Road, right in the heart of Southampton City Centre’s Cultural Quarter – just opposite the Guildhall and Civic Centre and a 5 or 10 minute walk from Southampton Central train station… you’ll also find us just around the corner from Southampton’s new Arts Centre complex. 

By Car: The theatre is a short drive from both Junction 5 (Westbound) and Junction 3 (Eastbound) of the M27 and Junction 14 of the M3 following signs of the City Centre. Our postcode is SO14 7FW.

Car Parks: There is an NCP car park within a few minutes walk from the theatre. There are also two large multi-storey car parks within 5-10 minutes walk of the Theatre.

MSCP West Park Road and Grosvenor Square both have 500+ spaces and are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Charging times vary at both.

Early arrival is recommended. Several spaces are available directly outside the theatre for blue badge holders – but there is a time limit of 1 hour.
