Visitors to Cheltenham for a meeting will often inform you that parking for meetings can be a real problem if you haven’t planned ahead.
Check Whether the Venue Has On-Site Parking
Some venues offer free parking whilst others have limited spaces and charge daily. It’s best to establish the venue’s parking policy when booking a meeting and how early the delegates can arrive to ensure all can park in time.
Share Directions and Parking Details in Advance
In your joining note for the meeting, sent out a few days in advance, include the postcode for parking at the venue, any permit codes that are required and any charges that will be incurred. This should stop a mass of messages on the morning.
Plan Around Town Centre Congestion
As Cheltenham is a busy town centre, the main A40 road and junctions around the town can become congested during morning and evening rush hours. Delegates driving from a distance for their meeting should allow time to reach the venue by 9am to allow for any unexpected delays.
Consider Park-and-Ride or Public Transport
Cheltenham is covered by park-and-ride services, and rail travel ends near the town centre. Traveline provides public transport information for Cheltenham in advance of a visit.
