Car Parking

From the beginning of November a new system will be introduced at the Town Hall’s staff car park. During weekday evenings the car-park will now be closed to the general public, but will be available for use for certain Council activities. The KMT is a Council-controlled organisation, and therefore ticket-holders for the current evening’s performance will be allowed to use this car-park. A barrier will be in place and admission will be on production of a valid ticket for that evening, or on production of a Club Membership Card where details can be checked against the booking records for that evening’s show. The barrier will be manned one hour before each performance. There will be no access after curtain-up time. There are a limited number of spaces, and admission will clearly be on a “first-come, first-served” basis. On some nights there will other activities involving council facilities and clearly we will have to share the spaces. On Council Meeting nights access will not be until 7.15pm , and only very few spaces will be available.

The car-park will remain open to the general public on Saturday daytimes (subject to a parking fee up to 5.30pm , afterwards free) and on Sunday daytimes (free of charge).

The car park entrance is in Chadwell Road , but there is a small gate leading directly onto Oakfield Road , facing the Theatre – this provides a pedestrian exit from the car park to the theatre.

The multi-storey car-park is now open until 2am most mornings and has had a number of security devices and additional lighting installed. The car-park in Albert Road offers a number of spaces (with pedestrian access to the theatre via the underpass next to the Library)

Immediately outside the front of the Theatre – on the theatre side of the road (and stretching up to the Pedestrian area - there are “No Parking” restrictions until after curtain-up time. Patrons are occasionally caught out and receive Parking Tickets. There are notices on each lamp-post – but it is easy to miss them in the rush to get into the theatre and the delight at finding an empty space right outside. Please be warned!
