Coming by Car
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust has introduced a new car parking tariff and process for patients and visitors at Weston General Hospital as of Monday 10 July 2023.
The Trust is introducing a pay by phone app, allowing even greater flexibility. Patients and visitors can also pay via one of our pay machines, that are equipped to accept cash, debit card chip and pin or contactless, as well as contactless pay using smartphones. Patients and visitors will be able to pay for parking at the end of their visit to our hospital. Automatic Number Plate recognition (ANPR) has also been installed.
Our parking charges apply 24 hours a day at Weston General:
There is a 15 minute grace period after validating your ticket to exit the car park.
Overnight parking (5pm - 7am) is available for £2.
Discounted parking is available for up to seven (7) days at a cost of £21, which is equivalent to £3 a day. This is available to all our patients and visitors who use our car park.
Parents of a young child staying overnight (5pm - 7am) in the hospital are entitled to free car parking. The ward where your child is staying will need to contact the Trust's Travel team. Please note that normal day time tariffs apply.
