Hinckley town centre will offer free parking in selected car parks on the four Saturdays leading up to Christmas, starting from 28 November, to encourage festive shopping and support local businesses.

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is repeating its popular offer of free car parking in specific town centre car parks on Saturdays during the Christmas shopping season. This initiative aims to thank shoppers for their loyalty and to boost trade for local shops, the market, restaurants, the cinema, and other businesses.
Shoppers can park for free after 9am in Lower Bond Street, Trinity West, and Castle car parks on 28 November, and 5, 12, and 19 December. The council also reminds residents that parking is free in all council-run car parks on Sundays throughout the year.
Additionally, the car park at North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (NWSLC), located behind the Atkins Building and accessible from Druid Street, will also offer free parking on these four Saturdays. The college is extending this offer to include Friday 20 December from 3pm.

"As Christmas approaches, we know many families are carefully managing their budgets. This free parking offer is designed to make it easier for residents to enjoy our town centres, pick up festive gifts, meet family and friends, and support the fantastic local businesses that are at the heart of our communities. Every purchase made locally helps our high streets thrive. My thanks also to NWSLC for opening their car park to shoppers."
