Parking

As an independent Charitable Trust, we receive no funding from the taxpayer and are totally reliant on income we generate ourselves. Income from parking helps us to provide great facilities and landscape for visitors to enjoy.

Parking charges are now in place at Nene Park Trust car parks at Ferry Meadows, Orton Meadows and Thorpe Meadows.

Annual parking membership is available for just £70 at Ferry Meadows and includes a number of additional benefits.
