Street Parking Controls Around the Hookstone Venue
Harrogate and Knaresborough on-street parking charges apply from 8am until 6pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 6pm on a Sunday (North Yorkshire Council). North Yorkshire Council lists a charge of £1.30 for 30 minutes and £2.40 for one hour in its Harrogate and Knaresborough guidance (North Yorkshire Council).
Those controlled hours and tariffs matter when event traffic reaches the streets around the ground, particularly for a short pre-match stop or a post-event collection. The council’s published street-parking information should be read alongside the restrictions shown on individual signs, since the charging periods apply to the authority’s Harrogate and Knaresborough on-street parking scheme (North Yorkshire Council).
