Drivers who need to park should use the university’s Parking Portal Pages to apply for a parking permit or check eligibility (chester.ac.uk). The university’s alternative parking leaflet lists a 168-space car park with charges of £4 for up to 2 hours, £4.90 for 2 to 4 hours, £5.90 for 4 to 6 hours and £7.80 for over 6 hours (chester.ac.uk). Arrivals after 3pm park free in that car park (chester.ac.uk). A separate tariff in the same leaflet is £1.20 for 1 hour (chester.ac.uk). General parking enquiries can be sent to parking@chester.ac.uk (chester.ac.uk). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near Castle Drive For students and staff needing a full day, a secure 24/7 garage space in Chester, CH1 1DW, is 0.2 mi away and costs £10 a day. A driveway space near Handbridge Medical Centre is 0.3 mi away at £2 a day, making it a lower-cost option for a campus visit or shorter working day. Visitors wanting hourly parking can choose secure 24/7 parking at Grey Friars, CH1, 0.3 mi away, at £4.50 an hour.

Show map of Queens Park ## Busy Parking Periods Around the Handbridge Campus Parking pressure is greatest when campus demand rises, particularly during university term times, events and open days. The campus guidance describes parking as limited and recommends public transport or walking where possible (chester.ac.uk). Visitors attending an open day or event should allow time to use an alternative space rather than relying on a campus bay. The university’s accommodation guidance cites restrictions on parking spaces and environmental considerations when explaining why parking facilities cannot be extended (chester.ac.uk). The practical choice for staff, students and visitors is to arrange an authorised permit or use a listed car park instead of treating nearby residential streets as overflow parking. ## Other Car Parks for University of Chester Visits The alternative parking leaflet provides a university-area option separate from the campus spaces described in the main parking guidance. Its 168-space car park charges £4 for up to 2 hours, £4.90 for 2 to 4 hours, £5.90 for 4 to 6 hours and £7.80 for stays over 6 hours (chester.ac.uk). For a later visit, arrivals after 3pm use that car park free (chester.ac.uk). The leaflet also lists a separate 1-hour charge of £1.20 (chester.ac.uk). These rules suit visitors who can time a meeting or event for the afternoon, while the longer tariffs are relevant to staff, students and guests who need to leave a car during a substantial part of the day. The university identifies localised congestion as a travel and transport issue, so using an off-campus alternative can help avoid adding to pressure around Castle Drive (chester.ac.uk). ## Walking and Rail Access From Chester Northgate The campus is on Castle Drive in Handbridge, near Queens Park. Chester Northgate railway station is the nearest station, 0.7 mi away, with a 15-minute walk to the University of Chester. That makes rail a practical option for visitors who want to avoid limited campus parking. Queens Park centre is 0.5 mi from the campus, placing local amenities within walking distance for people combining a university visit with time in the area. The university says its sites are well connected to main roads, bus routes and train stations (chester.ac.uk). Students and staff travelling without a car can therefore combine the walk from Chester Northgate with local bus connections rather than searching for a space near Castle Drive.
