Car park closing time moves to 18:00 (6:00 pm) starting on Monday 16 September

As we move into mid-September, the evenings are becoming noticeably shorter. To reflect this, the car park closing time will change to 18:00 (6:00 pm) on Monday 16 September. This will remain the closing time for six weeks until late October, when British Summer Time ends. As usual, the car park will be unlocked each morning by 08:00.

It’s important that you leave the car park promptly. Opening and closing the car park gate is done each morning and evening by a dedicated group of volunteers. In the evenings, whoever is locking up will always check to see if vehicles are still in the car park. When that occurs, they will spend a short time looking round to see whether anyone is nearby before locking the gate. However, we do not expect our volunteers to spend extra time waiting for owners to return to their cars. If a vehicle is left in the car park after the stated closing time, it may well be locked in overnight and you would need to retrieve it the following morning.
