A RETAIL park has announced it will be extending its free parking for shoppers over the festive period.

Customers at Castlepoint shopping park are usually capped to four hours free parking over the two-storey car park.

However, from Friday, November 29 visitors will be able to enjoy extended parking for Christmas shopping.

A spokesperson shared on social media: “From November 29 to January 5, enjoy free extended parking with over 2,500 spaces available.

“Our four-hour restriction will be lifted during this period to make your Christmas shopping easier and more enjoyable.

“The four hour rule will be reinstated on 6th January 2025.”

The retail park has recently welcomed international retailer, Mango, and re-opened a newly renovated Waterstones. 

Castlepoint is also set to open a Rituals store and Procook, replacing the former Robert Dyas unit.
