About Newnham Street Car Park

It’s an open-air surface car park, generally easy to navigate with good visibility of available bays. There is no charge for parking here.

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.
