Northwich Parking Tips

Before we go through the parking locations, follow our top tips on parking in Northwich:

  • First up, you should know we have five private car parks, most of which are supermarket car parks with limits ranging from 90 minutes – 2 hours. All of these car parks have ANPR that operates 24-7, so don’t get caught out with a ticket.
  • Don’t waste time trying to park on Walting Street car park (next to Nortwich Market) before 10am on a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday – it’s reserved for Market Traders only. It’s still worth giving it a miss outside of these times… as it’s full most days from early morning.
  • Have some spare change just in case the card readers aren’t working, it’s rare but can happen – parking is really cheap in Northwich, with most car parks offering 2 hours for 20p or £1 for a full day.
  • You can use various pay by phone services at all council owned car parks.
  • If you’re using a pay and display car park overnight and won’t be back before 8am, then we recommend using the pay by phone service OR you’ll need to go back to the machine at 6pm and purchase a ticket for the next day, or use one of the free car parks.
  • Heading to one of our big venues? For Northwich Plaza, your closest car parks are Watermans, Leicester Street, Chester Way Roundabout & Cumberland. For Memorial Court (Brio) your closest car parks are Memorial Court & Victoria Club.
