It offers 60 marked bays, including four accessible spaces located near the pedestrian path to Chartwood Place. Operating 7 am 9 pm daily, parking is pay-and-display; machines accept coins, banknotes, and contactless cards, with a flat daily tariff and no evening or weekend surcharges for patrons of cultural events. CCTV cameras monitor all entry and exit points during operating hours, and LED floodlighting ensures safe pedestrian access after dusk. A clearly marked footpath leads directly to Dorking Halls, Dorking Museum, and Chartwood Place retail outlets within a two-minute walk.
