Shoppers in Bassetlaw are being encouraged to take advantage of free parking in the run-up to Christmas.
Visitors to Worksop and Retford will be able to enjoy extended free car parking in all Bassetlaw District Council Car Parks (including the Priory Centre in Worksop) in the weeks before Christmas and New Year.
Parking will be free after 1pm each day, an hour earlier than in previous years and a week earlier across the district.
Free parking will be available from Saturday, November 22 2025 until Monday, January 5, 2026.
The Council is running the scheme in a bid to attract more people into the town centres to support high street businesses.
Parking will be free from 1pm in council car parks for the Christmas Lights Switch on in Worksop on Saturday, November 22.
Cllr Alan Rhodes, Cabinet Member for Corporate and Financial Services said: “We hope by extending our free parking offer will encourage more people to shop local and support traders and businesses in our town centres.
“It also means those attending the Christmas Lights ‘Switch On’ in Worksop later this month will also benefit from the free parking in our council owned car parks.”
