Getting Here & Dining Here

Parking

As of September 2022, ongoing construction in the Fernwood neighbourhood has reduced parking options around the theatre. Limited parking can be found at the Victoria High School parking lot on Gladstone Avenue for evening and weekend performances. During our Wednesday Matinees, that parking lot is reserved, and your car will be towed. (Update: as of April 24, 2023, the Victoria High School parking lot will be closed intermittently and may not be accessible.)

Additional parking lots have generously been made available at St. Nicholas Church (on Cook Street at Caledonia Avenue) for evening performances and at Victor School (on Victor Street at Denman Street) for evening and weekend performances. These lots are about a 10-minute walk away from the theatre.

(Disclaimer: all parking is at vehicle owner’s own risk. St. Nicholas Church/School District 61/the Belfry Theatre assume no responsibility for theft or damages.)

When these lots are full or unavailable, please look for street parking in zones not marked “Residential Only”. Unsigned street parking can be found within a few blocks, north and east of the theatre.

Bus Service

The Belfry is serviced directly by the 22: Vic General / Hillside Mall Bus. Routes 1, 2, 10, 24, 25, 27 & 28 all stop within three blocks of the theatre. Routes 11 & 14 stop within five blocks of the theatre. You can plan your journey here.

Bicycles

There are a number of bike racks in the courtyard outside the theatre.
