Following your valuable feedback, we’re pleased to announce important changes to parking at Chineham Shopping Centre. We’re extending our FREE 4-hour parking until later each evening – and it’s not just for Christmas!

Parking outside of these times is still free, but it is restricted to 40 minutes.

Monday to Saturday 05:30 – 00:00 = FREE 4 hours stay
Monday to Saturday 00:00 – 05:30 = FREE 40 minutes stay

Please see our Q&A section below for further information:
Where are the ANPR cameras located?
The cameras are located at the entrances and exits to each car park.
Where do I find information about fines?
On-site signage will display all relevant information. Failure to comply with the terms & conditions of parking will result in a £100 Parking Charge Notice (£60 if paid within 14 days of issue). If you believe you have received a fine in error, please send an email to info@chinehamshopping.co.uk.
What are the rules on returning?
The non-return period is only 30-minutes, to support those who they visit the centre regularly during the daytime (especially relating to those who use the car park for school drop off/pick up).
How will this affect the EV charging area?
If you are charging your car in the EV charging area, the time limit does not apply.
I am visiting Jetts Gym – what parking restrictions apply to gym users?
Gym users can add their registration number to a machine at the gym reception to extend their parking time to up to 4 hours (any time of day).
What should I do if I work at Chineham Shopping and need to park for more than 4 hours?
Your Manager has information about the staff parking scheme. Please ask your Manager for more information.
If you have a question about the car park which is not answered above, please email info@chinehamshopping.co.uk.
