[Brighton] Parking in Brighton

[swindonseagull]

Going to spend the day in Brighton tomorrow pre Palace game, last time I parked in the city at NCP it was bloody expensive so any hints on where to park or would I be better street parking in Portslade (free) and getting the train ??

Then back to the car before the game to park at Bridge Street

You'll be lucky to find a free spot in Portslade.

My recommendation would be to park at the Marina, which is free. The multi story, not Asda.
You can then walk into Brighton - about 15 mins slow stroll.

Parking up near Freshfield Road (just off Eastern road) is metered but is considerably cheaper and only a 10 min walk back down to the bottom of the Steine, coming out near the Dome or Brighton Pier. Worth considering if you don't mind a shortish walk.

As TB mentions, Portslade is a difficult place to find parking. You could park at West Hove Sainsburys - there is a slim chance of a private parking ticket but it's easy to get cancelled. If you don't mind paying then all day at London Road car park is less than £20 and an easy walk into town.

Careful with this as I'm pretty sure there's a four hour limit.

You can get to the pier, it's not a bad walk when the weather isn't so shit.

That's 1.5 miles, so a pretty brisk stroll to do it in 15 mins.........

 

[CHAPPERS]

Could stick it up The Avenue/Southall Avenue somewhere. Loads of 25 buses into town and it's on the way out of town towards to the stadium for the Bridge later on.

Hollingdean side of Moulescoomb station.

Now, I don't know what time they operate from but why not try to utilise the park and ride car parks
(Race Course, Mill Road) of course it depends on whether you can park your car there well before the game. There doesn't appear to be any times on the info page below. If you can, then pop your car there get a bus into town then maybe get a train to the game and the park and ride bus back to your car.

I suggest parking in Falmer village from lunchtime onwards. By the Swan there are 4 hour bays that finish at 4pm so could park from noon, for free, or over by the pond there are similar bays too. (careful some bays are only 2 hours so check signage.). Then you can get bus/train into town and enjoy your afternoon . Use the travel included in match ticket to get back to Falmer later and you'll have a quick get away after the match. Think there will be stewards stopping parking from mid afternoon but get there at 11:45am and sit in the car until 12 and you'll be fine.

Unfortunately you didn’t respond to my request.

Already booked for Bridge Street thanks for the suggestion anyway

The car park behind Brighton Station is the cheapest in town (I think). Its cheaper than all the NCPs in the area anyway

Can you park for nowt in Woodingdean and then just walk up the hill and down the slope?

 

[Superphil]

We tend to bite the bullet and park in the car park in Blackman Street, seems to be the best value and real easy to get into town from.

I think this assumes 75mph winds coming from east to west

Most car parks have an evening rate so unless you are arriving particularly early then you should be able to park.

The Trafalgar Street car park - just a couple of minutes walk from the station - is £6 if you arrive after 6pm and leave before midnight.

If you are arriving after 5pm, you can get the night rate at the Theatre Car Park on Church Street for £7.95 or save a quid if you use the App. From there it is about a 10 minute walk to the station or down to the Old Steine to pick up a bus to the Amex.
