How to pay for parking
The car park is short stay, pay for use and is cashless. It is monitored by cameras that record vehicle registration numbers and time of entry and exit, so please ensure you do pay for your full stay. Diners at Roots + Seeds, Cattivo and Corinium Ales should see the note below about when parking fees do not apply.
Payments for parking can be made in one of three ways:
- By card/contactless at the machines in the car park. Simply follow the instructions on the signage.
- Via PaybyPhone App, that can be downloaded in advance of your visit so you can set up your account and be ready to pay when you arrive. Handily, it is the same App used in Cirencester’s public car parks.
- Call 0800 546 0607 and follow the recorded instructions; please note that you will need to register an account first. This will be more time consuming than the above two options.
If you experience any problems downloading the PaybyPhone App or making your payment in situ, the staff at Roots + Seeds will be happy to assist.
If you fail to pay at the time of parking, for whatever reason, you can use the App to pay before the end of the same day.
