Transport & parking information

Bike parking - There is bike parking within the grounds of the Black-E consisting of loops to lock your bike to

Buses - The 82 stops outside the Black-E. The 86, 80 and 75 also stop close by - get off at the bombed-out church and walk along Berry Street towards the Black-E and the Chinese arch. From Liverpool One bus & coach station, you can catch the 82 bus from bay 10. To get the 82 from Lime Street train station, cross over the main road and head over to the Sainsburys; there are several bus stops by there on Elliott Street outside the shopping centre, the GC stop is for the 82.

Car-parking - There isn’t a car park at the Black-E unfortunately. There is street parking in the road beside the building but only for 2 hours max. There are car parks nearby – in order of closeness there’s one on Knight Street (£7 all day) but it only has space for 10 vehicles, then there are bigger ones on Duke Street and Parr Street which are £7-8 all day (and one on Colquitt St which is £2 per hour). All within 3-5 mins walk of the venue. Here's a link to Parkopedia, showing nearby carparks - but note that it does not include the Duke Street car park for some reason.
