Charges

The cost of your ticket depends on the days, time and number of hours you park for. The payment machine will calculate the price when you leave. If your stay extends across more than one tariff​, it will add the costs from each one together.

The payment machines accept cash, cards, Android Pay and Apple Pay.

You can pay by card, Android Pay or Apple Pay at the exit.

Blue Badge holders can claim three hours’ free parking. The standard tariff will apply after the free hours. You must scan your badge when you pay – the machine will reduce the cost of your stay when you pay.

If you lose your ticket, we will charge you from 8am on the day you entered the car park.
