Visitor Information

Accessible bays are issued on a first-come, first-served basis at Olympia’s motor rail car park. Should you wish to pre-book parking, this does not guarantee you a disabled bay but will ensure you have a space in the motor rail car park. 

When you arrive, please inform car parking staff that you have pre-booked a parking space and that you require a disabled bay, and someone will assist you.  

All disabled parking is charged at the standard tariff rates.

Please be aware that welfare facilities for support animals are not available onsite and all owners will be fully responsible for the actions of their animal, which will need to be kept under control and on a lead or harness or in a pet carrier.

A cloakroom is available on the ground floor as you enter Olympia West. If you would like to use the cloakroom, please check items before proceeding upstairs to enter the event space. The venue charges per item.
