Welcome to the Support Centre

Is there parking?

Parking is available at a cost of £2.00 per space for the Christmas Lights event. Parking must be booked in advance for all cars (including members and blue badge holders).


All parking will be at the East Extension and East Overflow car parks at the University of Bath, except for Blue Badge parking which will be at the museum’s own car park. The East Extension car park at the university will be available from the start of the event at 4pm. Then the East Overflow car park will also be available from 5pm onwards (some spaces may be reserved for coach parking).

 

We also have a limited number of spaces available for Blue Badge holders in the museum’s own car park available throughout each night of the event.

 

Please follow directions for parking as you arrive and communicate clearly with any parking stewards for directions to your parking space. Stewards will ask to see evidence that you have booked a parking space, and evidence of your Blue Badge entitlement, so please have both ready to show as you arrive.

 

Please note that it takes 10-15 minutes to reach the entrance of the Christmas Lights event from the car parks. We have one car park close to the Christmas Lights (approx. 2 minutes’ walk from the Christmas Lights) which will be reserved for Blue Badge parking only.

 

Blue Badge holders and those with access needs will be prioritised for parking in our Blue Badge spaces in the museum’s own car park. However, on occasion it may be necessary to ask for those with access needs to be dropped off, and cars parked in the more distant car parks. Wherever possible, we will accommodate visitors' needs in relation to car parking. There is no need to include details of your requirements in your car parking booking, but please make sure you book the correct parking ticket for either the University car parks, or the Blue Badge parking in the Museum's own car park.

 

All car parking is located outside the Bath Clean Air Zone. More information about the Bath Clean Air Zone can be found on the B&NES Council website.

 

If for any reason none of our car parking spaces are available, there may be pay & display parking available in the other car parks at the University of Bath (postcode BA2 7AY) after 4pm. Prices for parking at the University of Bath can be found on their website.
