Parking near Lewes Train Station

Max Paper · Apr 16, 2012

My apologies, I know this has no doubt been discussed several times but due work i'm gonna have to come to tomorrows game by train

I was gonna park at Cooksbridge and go from there but parking in Lewes would save time on the way back. Where is a good, legal place to park near to the train station?

Thanks very much

You can try the car park next to the dropping pan. Free from 6pm but you must leave me a space! Failing that drive a little further down past the dripping pan and you will find some on street parking without any problems.

Don't park up near the station you will get a ticket. If it is around 7.00pm you will have problems as most places will be taken.

May well try the Dripping Pan, it's likely to be around 6.30ish (I hate my work, wankers)

Always space at Dripping pan at 6pm when I usually get there, if I'm a bit late please don't take the last space :thumbsup:

Its free after six

You know this I assume because you park there yourself? Sorry to have to double check but I can't risk it getting locked in overnight.

Can 100% assure you they do not lock the gates to sussex downs colege.
The far gate opposite sports centre is left open 24/7

You didn't mention that you were looking for a free space, so why not park at the train station? On the odd occasion I've had to take the train I've never had an issue parking there and jumping on.

I may be wrong, but most (if not all) car parks in Lewes are free after 6pm. We tend to park at the one next to Harveys Brewery, have a couple of snifters in the Gardeners and walk to the station in around 10 mins.

Why do they have a gate then?

The station does have a car park with 272 spaces. Don't think it was too expensive.

I may be wrong too, but if you mean the car park opposite the brewery on the other side of the river, I thought that was the only Lewes car park that charges apply to after 6pm? Maybe somebody will confirm either way?

Whatever, don't park in the spaces outside Laura Ashley or the roadway alongside the car park. From the back of Waitrose up to the T junction near the bridge, its technically a private road & the scumbags clamp along there. Rest assured they will if you park there.

No, I don't mean that one. I mean the one between Pheonix Causeway and Cliffe High Street accessed off of Harveys Way. I'm not sure about the one behind Cliffe High Street by the river accessed from Court Way, but we have used that one on occasion.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but got to park in Lewes for tonight's game and wondered if anyone could advise of free or cheap parking near Lewes train station, if I arrive around 6pm.

Thanks in advance for any meaningful input...!
