Free extensive parking for Festival Retail Park shoppers
Festival Retail Park Car Park is a large, free surface lot serving the Festival Retail Parks collection of out-of-town retail and leisure outlets. The tarmac site accommodates 450 vehicles, including ten Blue Badge bays closest to the main entrances, and six parent-and-child bays. Open 24/7, parking is free for up to four hours; after that, a flat fee of £2.00 is enforced by roving attendants, payable via machines accepting coins and card. LED lighting provides full illumination until 2 am, and CCTV cameras monitor all aisles. Pedestrian crossings and clearly marked walkways lead to anchor tenants such as Next, Boots, and Home Bargains. A covered bus stop is located at the south end, servicing routes to Hanley and Stoke-on-Trent station. EV charging is available via four 7 kW chargers near the north entrance, with usage charged through a posted phone number. Seasonal Christmas market stalls occupy the eastern section from November to January, reducing capacity by 50 spaces. Regular grounds maintenance includes litter picking and line repainting monthly.
