How It Works

Simple, barrier-controlled parking in four easy steps

1

Arrive & Enter

🚗

Drive up to the entrance barrier. Our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras will read your registration and the barrier will lift automatically.

2

Park Up

🅿️

Find a space and park your vehicle. With 360 spaces across 5 levels, there's plenty of room. Disabled and parent & child spaces are clearly marked.

3

Pay Before You Leave

💳

When you're ready to leave, pay for your parking using one of two easy methods:

📱

Scan a QR Code

Scan any of the QR codes on signs around the car park to pay instantly from your phone

🖥️

Use the Kiosk

Enter your registration number at the payment kiosk and pay by contactless card

4

Exit Hassle-Free

Drive to the exit barrier. If your payment has been processed successfully, the barrier will lift automatically — no tickets, no tokens, just drive out.

💡

No ticket needed. Our ANPR system tracks your visit automatically using your number plate — just drive in and pay before you leave.
