Coming in to the town the easiest way to find it is, at the top of the high street at the mini roundabout just after the cinema turn right.
At the end of this road turn left (B3176), again at a mini roundabout, and the car park may be found at the end of the road just after the bus "Triangle" and before the T-Junction.

Bedford Lawn Car Park long stay tickets
24 hour permits are available from the gatekeeper and start at £14 for the first and second day and then the price per day gradually reduces where a 7 day ticket ends up at £80.
You will be give a ticket by the gate keeper on payment which you should show on entry and exit each time.
You do not have a guarateed parking space and if the car park is full may have to wait for somebody to leave before you can park. My understanding is that this is rare but if it happens you should not have to wait long...
