Parking in Leeds city centre

I need to park in Leeds on a Saturday afternoon and early evening. I’ve discounted Park and Ride as the ones to the west of Leeds are closed on weekends.
Can anyone recommend a very central secure car park? Thanks

@PrinceHaz we tend to park on either Trinity which we do often after 5pm so feels very safe or The Light off the Headrow. Trinity can be an arse to get out of if traffic backs up or if there are road works. Neither are cheap but then it is city centre.

It’s a real nightmare to get into the city centre with a car at the moment.
I use Trinity car park when I’m staying at the hotel next door, never had a problem with it.
Make sure to approach the centre from the west (along Kirkgate and The Calls) as that was the only way I could get in!

Just outside of the city centre there the a great value car park at the Versa Studios. Maybe a 10 min walk from the station. Much cheaper.

Its a real pain to drive into Leeds City Centre, they really don’t want you to.

If its after 3pm then I just park on the street at a meter. My son lives in The Exchange and there are some streets round there that are metered parking on Saturday, free on Sunday.

Woodhouse Lane car park is best value but I don't know if it gets full at weekend. It does during the week.

I always park at the Light for the convenience but it is expensive!!

DS works in Leeds city centre and parks at holiday inn. You can book and pay apparently and it's cheaper than most car parks.

The one by the Tetley Gallery is fairly close to the city centre and not bad.

Where do you want to be? If you're going to a gig at the arena, there's a special evening rate at the Woodhouse Lane NCP but you might not be able to arrive before a certain time.

I also think the Markets NCP might be one of the cheapest, and if you pay in advance it's slightly cheaper.

You might be able to get a special deal on the Victoria Gate one if you're shopping in John Lewis or one of the other shops.

The Stourton Park and Ride is open on Saturday, so if you're coming from the south or west and want the cheapest option, that's probably it, but check what time it closes if you're going back to your car on the early evening.
