Windsor Street Is the Closest Car Park for MADM
The closest car park to The MAD (Mechanical Art and Design) Museum is Windsor Street multi-storey car park, with a two-minute walk to the museum (themadmuseum.co.uk). The site is at 4-5 Henley Street in Stratford-on-Avon, so Windsor Street is the most direct choice when keeping the walk short is more important than parking beside the entrance.
The museum usually opens seven days a week, with Monday hours of 10:00 to 17:00 listed by the operator (themadmuseum.co.uk). Windsor Street also serves as the coach drop-off and pick-up point, and the museum operator gives the walk to the site as two minutes (themadmuseum.co.uk).

Rother Street and Riverside Coach Parking Near Henley Street

It is useful for drivers who need an alternative to Windsor Street while staying within the central Stratford-on-Avon parking area.

Windsor Street Coach Park at CV37 6NL is the designated coach drop-off and pick-up point and is two minutes away (themadmuseum.co.uk). These coach facilities are particularly relevant to larger groups, while ordinary visitors arriving by car are directed towards the town-centre car parks.
Town-Centre Demand and Parking Rules Around Henley Street
Parking pressure is likely to be greatest when the town centre is busy, because the museum is in Stratford-on-Avon town centre on Henley Street and the attraction usually opens seven days a week (themadmuseum.co.uk). A visit takes about an hour to go around the museum, according to the operator (themadmuseum.co.uk), so short-stay demand can build as visitors arrive throughout the day.
Coach movements are handled at Windsor Street Coach Park, which the museum identifies for drop-off and pick-up, while Riverside is listed as the 24-hour coach park (themadmuseum.co.uk). Blue badge parking is free in all District Council car parks, including Windsor Street and Rother Street (themadmuseum.co.uk). Drivers should use the named car parks rather than treating Henley Street as an informal parking area, as the museum address is in the town-centre setting.
