Staff can buy a single-day permit for £2.75 through the University’s online car-parking service (onlinestore.lancashire.ac.uk). The permit terms also allow holders to use any designated University car park (lancashire.ac.uk). Visitors have a more useful exception during Open Days and some other events, when the campus car parks can be used free of charge (lancashire.ac.uk). For an ordinary visit, the University’s single-day staff permit is the published campus rate, while the permit requirement remains the key condition for using the University car parks. ## Preston City-Centre Car Parks Near the Campus St. Mary’s Car Park and Walker Street Car Park are among the nearest city-centre pay-and-display options for people travelling to the campus (lancashire.ac.uk). The University identifies several pay-and-display car parks in Preston city centre for local and commuter students, placing St. Mary’s and Walker Street on the shortlist nearest to the campus (lancashire.ac.uk). Open Day visitors can instead use the University car parks free during the published event exception, so the city-centre sites are most relevant for ordinary teaching days, staff visits without a permit and visitors attending appointments. Show map of Preston ## Parksy Parking Spaces Around the Preston Campus Parksy lists a driveway on Garstang Road, 0.4 mi away, at £5 an hour, plus parking at Wickes Preston in PR1, also 0.4 mi away, at £8.10 an hour. The Garstang Road space suits a short student or visitor stay, while the Wickes space gives staff and visitors another nearby hourly choice. At Bow Lane, 0.5 mi from the campus, there is secure 24/7 parking at £6.25 an hour, a secure driveway at £12 a day and another secure 24/7 space at £6.75 an hour. A further secure Stashbee space in Preston is 0.5 mi away at £65 a month, making it the clearest fit for a student or staff member needing regular parking rather than occasional access. ## Busy Parking Periods Around University of Lancashire Parking pressure is likely to be greatest during teaching periods and University events, when students, staff and visitors arrive together. Open Days are a notable exception to the normal campus arrangement because the University says its car parks can be used free during Open Days and some other events (lancashire.ac.uk). On ordinary days, the permit requirement applies to the University car parks, while local and commuter students are directed towards Preston city-centre pay-and-display facilities such as St. Mary’s and Walker Street (lancashire.ac.uk). The University’s directions page does not provide a separate surrounding-street parking allowance, so the campus permit and city-centre car parks are the defined choices for regular arrivals. ## Walking From Maudland Bridge and Preston Stations Maudland Bridge railway station is the closest rail stop, at 248 yd from the campus and a three-minute walk. Preston railway station is also within walking range at approximately 12 minutes on foot. Drivers using a Parksy space or a city-centre car park can combine parking with this central rail connection, while visitors arriving by train can choose between the three-minute walk from Maudland Bridge and the longer walk from Preston railway station.
