Car parking is available at all three hospital sites with designated spaces for blue badge holders close to each of the hospital entrances.

A ‘pay on exit' system is in operation on all of the car parks and people wishing to leave their vehicles will need to take a ticket from the barrier upon entry.

The parking tariff is:

  • Free for first fifteen minutes
  • £1.00 for upto 30 minutes 
  • £2.00 for upto one hour 
  • £3.00 for upto one-and-a-half hours 
  • £4.00 for upto 3 hours
  • £5.50 for 24 hours

The charges apply to all visitor car parks at Russells Hall, Corbett and Guest hospitals.

Payment should be made at one of the pay machines located in the Main Reception area, Maternity entrance, Emergency Department waiting area and C block entrance at Russells Hall Hospital, and in the main entrance areas at Corbett and Guest outpatient centres.

A limited amount of free parking is available for patients attending treatment in the Oncology (C4) and Renal departments three times a week or more for an extended period. Parking cards are available from both wards.
Save money on parking with a value card. Value cards are available to visitors who have relatives and friends in hospital. They are available at a fixed seven day fee of £15 plus a £6 refundable deposit. Value cards give you unlimited parking on the visitor car park for seven consecutive days, starting on the day of purchase, but do not guarantee you a space.
Cards may be issued for longer than a week in exceptional circumstances and will be charged at £15 per week. If you purchase a card for three weeks, for example, you pay £51. This is 3x £15 plus the £6 refundable deposit on return of the card.
If you buy a card for three weeks but return it after two weeks, you will receive your full £6 deposit plus a full refund for the unused complete third week.
If you buy a card for three week but only use it for two and a half weeks, you will receive your £6 deposit back but no refund for the unused days.
To purchase a value card, ask a member of staff on the ward or department you are visiting for more information.

Parking charges apply to all patients and visitors, including those with blue disabled parking permits.

Please note that the Trust operates a fixed penalty scheme to ensure the safe and continued operation of the hospital sites.

In order to avoid any problems, penalties will be applied to all vehicles, including blue badge holders, who park vehicles:

  • On or in a red lined area
  • On a pavement or pedestrian walkway
  • In disabled bays when not displaying the required disabled blue badge
  • Preventing access for emergency vehicles, emergency exits, deliveries and other vehicles
  • In drop-off spaces for more than one hour

Fixed penalties require the driver of the vehicle to pay a £30 charge (£15 if paid within 14 days) and are enforced by the Security Department.
