Parking Near Woodstock
Free parking at Union Street and Woodstock Central
Woodstock’s large free long-stay car park is on Union Street, reached via Hensington Road, making it the clearest option for drivers who need to leave a vehicle beyond a short town-centre visit (Wake Up To Woodstock). Woodstock also has free short-stay street parking for brief errands, although the source does not name the individual streets or publish a blanket time limit for those spaces.
Woodstock Central, High Street provides the most specific free town-centre period: parking is free for up to one hour between 8am and 6pm from Monday to Sunday (APCOA).
Woodstock time limits, permits and free concessions
Woodstock’s on-street parking includes a mixture of one-hour, three-hour and 23-hour bays, with disabled parking areas (Oxfordshire County Council). A free bay therefore remains free only for the signed period, and the restriction belongs to the individual bay rather than to every street in Woodstock.
Woodstock’s proposed ultra-short-stay bays would allow 20 minutes from 8am to 6pm, with no return within an hour, on High Street outside the Co-op and up to number 26, Park Street outside the post office, and specified stretches of Oxford Street. These proposals are not a general entitlement to park free in every Woodstock street.
Woodstock parking when Union Street is busy
Woodstock’s free Union Street long-stay car park is especially useful when central bays are occupied, but busy town-centre periods can leave the shorter-stay spaces unavailable. Woodstock also attracts visitors to Blenheim Palace, the Oxfordshire Museum and other heritage attractions, so event and visitor days can increase demand around High Street and the central streets (APCOA).
Woodstock Central, Park Street is a named paid alternative when free parking has gone: the location charges £2.80 for up to three hours and £7 for up to four hours (APCOA).
