Electric Vehicle Charge Points.

You can find two electric vehicle charge points on the first floor of the Palace Gardens car park.

Ticketless Pay System.

Both car parks use ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) that recognises your vehicle plate number when you enter and leave. Simply enter your reg number at one of the ticket machines when you have completed your visit. The system will document when you drive out of the car park and you may be charged if you do not pay for parking.
