Parking
Free on-site parking is available to shoppers - two hours maximum. There are 300 car spaces on the rooftop (ramp from Coventry St) and 85 car spaces available in the York Street car park.
Boom Gates
The Market’s rooftop parking is now a Boom Gate car park. This means all customers are required to take a ticket from the boom gate machines before you start shopping. Take the ticket with you and, before you return to your car, validate your ticket and pay any necessary fees (at one of the two new orange machines at the top of the stairs).
The introduction of fees after the first two hours on Market days has meant there are many more parking spaces freed up for shoppers.
