PARKING

PARKING AT THE RED DRAGON CENTRE

Parking is free for up to six hours for customers of The Red Dragon Centre so you can make a day of it, with bowling, films, a work out, a late night out, or a meal or refreshments at one of our great restaurants and cafes.

All you need to do is follow a few simple procedures to enjoy this great parking benefit!

Here’s how it works:

  • The Red Dragon Centre car park now operates  a TICKETLESS PARKING system using the latest automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology.
  • Drive up to the entry barrier. The parking system will recognise your registration number and the barrier will raise.
  • Spend over £6 to enjoy 6 hours free customer parking
  • Provide your vehicle registration along with *proof of purchase to the relevant restaurant / cinema / *bowling (excludes spend in the amusement arcade) / other operator of The Red Dragon Centre to obtain 6 hours free parking from the time you entered the car park.
  • Should you exceed the 6 hour free period, tariff charges will apply. Please visit a pay station before you leave, enter your vehicle registration and follow instructions.
  • If you are not using the facilities at The Red Dragon Centre tariff charges will apply. Please visit a pay station before you leave, enter your vehicle registration and follow instructions.
  • Travelodge customers are entitled to free parking for duration of stay
  • At the exit, the ANPR equipment will recognise your number plate and, if you have followed the above procedures correctly, the barrier will rise automatically. If you have not, you will not be able to leave the car park.

Tariffs will apply should you exceed the 6 hour free period at the following rate:

  • Up to One Hour: £2.00
  • Up to Two Hours: £3.50
  • Up to Three Hours: £5.00
  • Up to Four Hours: £6.50

  • Up to Two Hours: £3.50
  • Up to Three Hours: £5.00
  • Up to Four Hours: £6.50
  • Four to Nine Hours: £10.00
  • Nine – 24 hours: £24.00
