All of our surface car parks are open and free of charge on Christmas Day.

New car park fees and charges for 2025

We will be implementing new fees and charges in our car parks (and also our Hylands car parks) from Monday 17 February 2025.

Parking for Chelmsford Theatre

Due to the closures at Parkway car park, while Fairfield Road car park will still be accessible, exiting may be more challenging.

We recommend Chelmsford Theatre attendees park in either Coval Lane car park or Townfield Street car park, as they provide easier access during these closures.
