Planning your parking
Useful answers before you travel to Cardiff.
These are the questions people usually ask before booking parking for Principality Stadium, Cardiff City Stadium, or a major concert in Cardiff.
Is there parking at Principality Stadium?
Principality Stadium says there is no dedicated spectator car parking at or immediately near the stadium, so most drivers should book parking elsewhere in Cardiff before they travel.
Do I need to book parking in advance for major Cardiff events?
For the busiest rugby, football, and concert dates, booking in advance is the safest option. Demand rises quickly on major event days and good locations can fill early.
Which Cardiff parking locations are best for a quicker route back to the M4?
Leckwith locations such as Gôl Cardiff, Ysgol Pwll Coch, and Canton Rugby Club are often a good fit if you want a simpler route back toward the M4 after the event.
Can I use Principality Parking for concerts and football as well as rugby?
Yes. The site covers parking for Principality Stadium events, Cardiff City matches, Wales football, Blackweir Live concerts, and other major Cardiff event days.
