Standard get-in is 4pm, with soundcheck at 5pm. Please note that this is the earliest time that soundchecks can take place due to sound curfews on amplified noise. Gigs finish at 11pm due to sound curfew.
Parking
We do not have any on site parking at NAC, due to the nature of the site (listed church and grounds). Unloading for cars, vans and minibuses is via the auditorium back doors, on St. Swithins Alley (first right turn on the St Swithins Road one-way loop that runs from St Benedicts Street to Westwick Street). Please announce your arrival at the Box Office and a staff member will unlock the church doors for you.
You will need to park in St. Benedicts or one of the surrounding car parks after unloading - please see Find Us for parking locations and directions to NAC. Please note that the car park at the end of St. Swithins Alley does not belong to NAC and we strongly advise against parking here - the gates may be locked without warning, leaving your vehicle stranded inside.
For tour vans, artists often park up on the hatched area on St. Swithins Road. Please note that this is not a parking space and that the area is frequented by traffic wardens - parking here is at your own risk. Part of this stretch is, however, single yellow line, and so may be used at certain times. We can provide a 'playing at Norwich Arts Centre' sign in case your tour manager/driver needs to be contacted.
For larger buses, please see http://www.visitnorwich.co.uk/coaches.aspx for official coach parks.
Get-in / soundcheck times etc
Get-in time varies from day to day, as we run a daytime programme of events as well as evening gigs / shows. To check the get-in time for your show, or to arrange an earlier get-in, please contact Ian at norwichartscentre.co.uk.
