The published opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm, and Sunday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm (eastgateshopping.co.uk).
The published tariff is 0–1 hour £1.10, 1–2 hours £1.80, 2–3 hours £2.40, 3–4 hours £3, and 4–12 hours £5 (eastgateshoppingcentre.com).

Named Parking Near Eastgate Shopping Centre
Car Park 6 is the named facility serving the centre, and its 700-space capacity makes it the main off-street option for shoppers (eastgateshoppingcentre.com). Its Level 1 entrance is on Millburn Road, giving drivers a specific approach rather than relying on the shopping-centre address alone (eastgateshopping.co.uk).
The published parking page for Eastgate Shopping Centre identifies Euro Car Parks as the operator of Car Park 6 (eastgateshoppingcentre.com). A separate operator listing describes the facility as using pay-on-foot payment and ANPR, so the named car park combines a large shopper-focused layout with barrier payment at the end of the stay (sabaparking.co.uk).
When Eastgate Parking Is Busiest and How Payment Works
The centre car park operates seven days a week, including Bank Holidays, from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm (eastgateshoppingcentre.co.uk). Pedestrian access is limited after 7:00 pm, according to the centre’s parking information (eastgateshoppingcentre.co.uk). Those hours make earlier arrival useful for longer shopping visits or days when surrounding city-centre demand is high.
ANPR records entry and exit at the car park, while drivers can pay at a machine before leaving or at the exit barrier with a contactless card (sabaparking.co.uk). The tariff uses stay bands up to 12 hours, including £5 for 4–12 hours (eastgateshoppingcentre.com). Drivers choosing the centre facility should allow time to pay before reaching the exit barrier, particularly when several cars leave together.

For a longer stay, Parksy also lists a Stashbee space in Inverness 0.2 mi away at £50 a month. These options can beat the centre car park when a visit is short enough for the lower hourly price to matter, when a monthly arrangement suits regular parking, or when avoiding the centre’s payment barriers is more convenient.
