About St. Mary’s Medium Stay

St. Mary’s Medium Stay is a multi-storey car park in Colchester town centre, serving shoppers, diners, and visitors to the high street. With around 423 spaces (estimated from the site’s footprint), this is a substantial car park that rarely fills completely except during peak events. This is a multi-storey facility with parking spread across multiple floors, offering shelter from the elements.

When to Visit

Town centre car parks tend to be busiest on Saturdays as shoppers head to the high street. If you can, weekday mornings before 10am or Sundays offer a much calmer experience. Evenings can also work well if you’re visiting restaurants or catching a show. At this size, finding a space is rarely an issue — though during major events or peak Saturday demand, even large car parks can feel the pressure.
