By car
Nottinghamshire Archives has a very small car park which is located at the rear of the building. On turning into Castle Meadow Road from Wilford Street, take the first left and follow as the road veers immediately to the left. A barrier is positioned across the entrance to the car park and this will raise as you approach to allow you to enter.
Please not that the car park is very small and spaces are limited. If there are no available car parking spaces when you arrive you will need to use a car park within the city centre.
The nearest car parks can be found at Broadmarsh and the NCP Car Park on Maid Marian Way. Use this map to find the locations of these car parks [PDF 346KB] .
When exiting the car park you will need a token to operate the barrier. Collect your token from the search room reception. More information for blue badge holders can be found here.
