People getting off a Park and Ride bus

The park and ride service operates in the run up to Christmas each year

Our seasonal park and ride service in bury St Edmunds began with the Christmas Fayre at the end of November and will run on the three Saturdays leading up to Christmas, 3, 10 and 17 December.

The park and ride runs from:

  • Olding Road car park, easily accessible from the west junction of the A14 (junction 42). The drop off and pick up point is the bus station in the town centre.
  • Kempson Way on the Moreton Hall Estate, with easy access to the East exit on the A14. The drop of and pick up point is Honey Hill, next to Angel Hill.

Both sites will operate from 10am to 5.45pm. The cost is £4 per car, regardless of how many passengers.

Free parking on Friday mornings in Haverhill

Between 8am and 11am, on the four Fridays leading up to Christmas, 2, 9, 16 and 23 December there will be no charge for motorists using St Edmundsbury Borough Council's pay and display spaces in Haverhill.

The free parking only applies to the council's pay and display places, not private car parks.

Free parking for late night shopping in Bury St Edmunds

You may prefer to come to Bury on one of the late shopping nights. Late night shopping began with the Christmas lights switch on, on Thursday 17 November and continues for the six Thursdays leading up to Christmas. On these evenings, St Edmundsbury Borough Council owned car parks in the town centre will be free from 4pm onwards.
