St Mary's Multi-storey Car Park

It’s a decent car park, it’s more roomy than some of the other car parks and doesn’t have steep inclines - a benefit if you’re no good at hill starts when congested! The price isn’t too bad but could be cheaper. Paying is easy though through MiPermit, just put in your registration plate & pay through your phone… you can extend your time if you’re running late too. Town centre is just over the bridge and past the Mercury Theatre so it’s in an ideal location.

Hard to find as most car parks in Colchester are due to abysmal signage and those closest to town centre are tucked away in side streets. The satnav (and google maps) tries to take you the wrong way at a roundabout. The first time we parked here for the 6th form open evening in October 2021 we spent 50 mins going round and round in monstrous traffic jams following car park signs but never finding any including this one until we ignored both satnav & Google maps and just followed the roads on the map without "navigating". I can only assume Colchester council while giving the correct address have the wrong postcode or are deliberately trying to put drivers off going into the town centre as do Chelmsford and a couple of other towns in the county.

Easy central location for parking. If you wins round and then take the ramp as of coming back out the car park, you can park near the bridge leasing across the road and through the Roman gateway into the city centre. You get a fine view of Jumbo and some local history thrown in too!

Parking charges easily paid via MiPermit app.

Spaces are a bit small but this is our go to car park for Colchester Town centre. Always got a space even when there is a weekend event on. Approx 10 mins to walk to the castle and close by to anywhere in the town centre. Pay via the app or on card via the machine. Not overly expensive but not cheap either.

Easy to find, easy to get to and 'usually' plenty of spaces. Some spaces by the pillars are a little bit of a tight squeeze but the location for town and amenities is very good also.

Good car park. Pricing is good and nice access to the town center. Just try to avoid the stairwells!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a multi-story car park and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other. From the moment I entered the garage, I was struck by the impressive array of vehicles on display. From sleek sports cars to rugged trucks, there was a little bit of everything.

But the real highlight of my visit was the stair walk up to the top level. The views of the city from the top floor were breath-taking, and I couldn't help but snap a few pictures to share with my friends.

But don't just take my word for it, go check out this multi-story car park for yourself. You won't be disappointed. Just make sure to bring your driver's license and a sense of adventure. Trust me, you won't find a more exciting way to park your car.

The cheapest place to park for a night in Colchester..park after 6pm and it's £2 all night (till 6am) so no hurry to get back to you're car if you're out having a meal or get together.
