Coach Parking & Information

We're delighted you're bringing your coach to York. We have 2 dedicated coach parks in the city centre and there is also coach parking around the city centre.

Please note that at busier times of the year during major events like the JORVIK Viking Festival (February half term), York Food Festival (September) and York Christmas Festival (incorporating St Nicholas Fair), coach parking needs to be booked in advance as soon as possible.

FAQs for coach parking in York

Q: I have wheelchair users and older visitors on my coach - can I drop them off within the city walls?
A: Only under extenuating circumstances can arrangements be made for a coach to set-down/collect within the city walls (for example, a large proportion of the travelling party is registered as disabled and they are attending a service at York Minster). There is currently an administration fee of £10 to raise such a waiver and further information and advice is available from City of York Council on 01904 551309.
