  • Thursday 24 November 4pm to midnight (Christmas lights switch on)
  • Thursday 1 December 4pm to midnight

  • Thursday 15 December 4pm to midnight
  • Thursday 22 December 4pm to midnight

Please note not all town centre cars parks are Stratford District Council car parks, please check first.

Cllr Mike Brain, Technical Services Portfolio says: “We have run this offer for a number of years and it has proved to be really popular with shoppers and retailers and one way the District Council can help support local businesses. 

“It is important that we support the town's traders and not only encourage our residents to shop locally but also encourage others to travel into the area and experience the wonder of Stratford-upon-Avon at Christmas time with the beautiful Christmas lights and superb festive market, which is on Bridge Street. 

“I really hope people take advantage of this offer which will benefit everyone from residents to traders and those from outside the district who might choose to visit.  We want to make Stratford-upon-Avon the place of choice for people to come and do their Christmas shopping."
