In the heart of the Newcastle City Centre, First Parking’s Argyle Street parking facility offers fantastic flat-rates to locals and tourists alike. Only a short walk from local attractions like the Civic Theatre, we provide accessible parking with no online booking required!
From our location on Argyle St, there are many nearby attractions in Newcastle’s CBD to explore, including the Newcastle City Hall, Civic Park, King Street, Newcastle Art Gallery, Newcastle Interchange, King Edward Park, University of Newcastle’s City Campus, Newcastle Beach and so much more!
Newcastle may be known for its coal and steel industries, but there’s more to this coastal city than meets the eye. With a vibrant arts and culture scene, a stunning coastline and a laid-back lifestyle, Newcastle offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. Whether you want to surf at one of the many beaches, explore the historic fort and lighthouse, or enjoy the local cuisine and nightlife on Darby Street, Newcastle has something for everyone. Don’t miss the chance to experience this gem of a city.
One of the highlights of Newcastle’s arts and culture scene is the Civic Theatre, a stunning heritage-listed venue that has been entertaining audiences since 1929. This proscenium arch theatre seats 1474 people in two tiers and boasts a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system.
Located between Hunter St, King St and Auckland St, the Civic Theatre offers a diverse and exciting program of live performances, featuring local and international artists from various genres. Whether you’re into musicals, comedy, ballet, drama or anything in between, you’ll find something to suit your taste and mood. The theatre also has a cinema that screens classic and contemporary films, as well as a bar where you can enjoy a drink before or after the show.
With First Parking’s excellent all-day and evening parking offers, you no longer have to rely on local taxi companies (or the bus stop) to get you where you need to go. Crossing Hunter Street from our Argyle Street location, we are steps away from Newcastle’s leading performing arts centre, the Civic Theatre. If you’re looking for evening parking, we offer a flat payment from 4:00pm until 4:00am the next day, which is ideal for many theatre-goers.
And, for the most dedicated thespians, our monthly parking also gives you the freedom and flexibility to come and go as you like, any time of the day or night. Plus, with First Parking’s Express service, you can save on car parks at all times with 20% off casual rates.
