Event Parking

Looking for secure Co-op Live event parking? 

Use our college’s safe and secure car park. We’re a 10 minute walk away from the Co-op Live arena and we charge £15 per car per event.

Our gated car park is staffed by our college security team; it’s well lit, and it’s covered by CCTV. We’re handily located just off Alan Turing Way, close to lots of major roads and perfect if you want to get away quickly after your event and avoid the traffic.

View the location of our college and car park entrance (via Wilson Street, M11 2AZ).

Through using our car park, you’ll be helping our college to continue to grow, and invest in things to support our students.
