Parking at Astley Park’s Hall Gate Entrance
The main visitor option is the Astley Park car park at the Hall Gate entrance, about 300 metres from the front of the Hall (astleypark.co.uk). This is the most straightforward choice for visitors carrying bags, travelling with children or needing step-free access.
Charges apply daily from 8am to 5pm, seven days a week (chorley.gov.uk). The park’s visitor information also says parking is free after 1pm on Saturdays and all day on Sundays (astleypark.co.uk).
When Astley Park Parking Is Busiest
The charging period runs every day from 8am to 5pm, so weekday visitors should allow for a paid stay during normal daytime hours (chorley.gov.uk). Saturday afternoons have a different parking pattern because the park’s visitor information states that parking is free after 1pm, while Sundays are free all day (astleypark.co.uk).
Use the signed park access rather than treating nearby residential roads as overflow parking. The council identifies the car park as serving direct access to the Hall and Café Ambio, while disabled bays are provided there (chorley.gov.uk).
Council Car Parks Around Chorley Town Centre
Its published charges include up to two hours free when a time-of-arrival ticket is displayed, up to three hours for £1, and an all-day rate of £3 at Yarrow Park car park (chorley.gov.uk). These terms may suit a brief town-centre stop before walking onwards.
Yarrow Park is the named council alternative in the published parking information, so it gives drivers another official option beyond the car park at the Hall Gate entrance. The free period requires a time-of-arrival ticket, making the ticketing condition important even when the stay falls within two hours (chorley.gov.uk).
