Chorley Council is pleased to announce a festive parking offer to support local shopping and seasonal events in the town centre.
From 8 December to 24 December 2025 (inclusive), visitors will benefit from free short-stay parking in council-run town centre car parks.
The offer includes:
- Flat Iron Car Park – 2 hours FREE (maximum stay applies)
- All other council-run town centre car parks – 3 hours FREE
Visitors are reminded that a time-of-arrival ticket must still be obtained from the machine, even during the free period.
The initiative is designed to encourage more people to visit Chorley town centre, helping local shops and businesses thrive during the festive season. It also makes parking more affordable and accessible. The offer builds on previous successful Christmas parking initiatives.
Leader of Chorley Council, Councillor Alistair Bradley, said: "We know Christmas is a vital time for our local businesses, and we want to make it as easy as possible for people to come into town, shop local, and enjoy everything Chorley has to offer.
“This parking offer is a simple way to support our traders and help residents make the most of the festive season."
