It provides roughly 56 spaces (estimated from the site’s footprint), a mid-sized car park that balances availability with convenience.

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. With 56 spaces, you should find parking without too much difficulty outside of peak times.
