[Music] Concorde 2 - where to park etc.

[gazingdown]

Going to a gig at Concord 2 in Dec but completely unfamiliar with the area where to park somewhere safe at night, given gig will end 11. I live out in sticks somcan’t get public transport (to Brighton at least).

Anyone any tips on parking/getting to gig? Happy to park further away if safer and walking a mile or two.

Outside on Madeira Drive. If too late with all spaces take, park above on Marine Parade.

Thanks.

Are both places secure/safe? Safe place to leave nice car is paramount.

Madeira Drive is semi dark, but there'll be a lot of activity with the gig, so try and get there early-ish to park near the doormen on the west side of Concord.

The usual advice you'd say to anyone parking anywhere, don't leave evidence of bags, satnavs, phone cables visible.

Thanks.

The only other place I know to park is car park under Regency Sq (which I would be happy with).

As per Weststander’s suggestion. I’ve parked on Madeira Drive for Concorde gigs several times and never had any issues. Charges available on the Brighton and Hove website and you can pay using the Pay by Phone app if need be.

Regency Sq is miles away. Madeira Drive is fine. The sooner you get there the closer to the Concorde you can park. Doormen are friendly and keep an eye out for trouble.

From the Jam by any chance?

Too far.

If you don't mind a long walk, but not as far, the BHCC Lanes car park (access from the seafront A259), is very well lit, secure and all gates/doors lock out thieving virmin.

Thanks. Had a good butchers on google street view, looks OK during day but suggestions above sounds like OK at night.

Ah right, I see.
No, I will be seeing Slowdive.

Churchill Square for a good priced car park and a 10 minute walk along the prom

Christ! You walk fast!

More like a bitterly cold and windy 20 minutes.

Just park on Madeira Drive like others have said. Free after 8pm. Don't leave anything valuable on display. Job done.

I went there a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night and we got a parking bay almost right outside the venue even though there was a large crowd there.

Saw them support The Cure in July, flippin brilliant!

As for parking at C2 - yep we always park as near to venue on Madeira Drive as possible. Never had any problems.
