Hello,

I'm driving up from Cork on Saturday morning for the gig and I am wondering if there will be parking available in or around Nolan Park?

TIA,
Vickser.

There is a Park and Ride facility for the concert at Cillin Hill (on outskirts of the city, Carlow Road, beside Lyrath Hotel) . Will be well signposted.

Awkward coming from Cork though. Best bet for you is James Park on Freshford Rd coming from the Motorway. 15 min walk to Nowlan Park and it will be faster walking back there after rather than being stuck in traffic.
