Parking in Thirsk. Any suggestions just for a couple of hours ?

[Apache]

As above. We’re thinking of popping into Thirsk on the way home today and wondering what if any suitable moho parking is available in the town

Maybe Lidl or Tesco car park ?

At far end of Market Place follow one way system as if travelling to Northallerton. When you see little bridge turn left. Large car/bus park on your right

Good carpark at the Racecourse site - less than 5 minutes from town centre.

Good call Tony. Think the car boot is on today at that location

Thanks for the prompt answers peeps

There are a couple of good carpark next to town. Quite easy to park backing over the grass.

Great free overnight parking nearby Aldi

I think that is Millgate - https://goo.gl/maps/xYehChriwrSZVVpNA
There are several bays where you can reverse the back end over grass to fit in the bay. Weight limit is 3.5t.
Coach bays are for coaches only so risk a fine if parking in them.

I used that one few years ago to visit a friend and take him out for something to eat in town, I contacted the council and they said I would be OK as they would inform the parking warden but buy two tickets, they also said that just buying two tickets without clearing it with then first could incur a fine.

We are over 3.5 tons so might get a ticket. Ended up having two attempts at finding it but decided the town was so busy it would likely be full anyway. The racecourse appeared to be holding a rally as it was full of motorhomes as we approached so we went to Ripon but couldn’t get parked there either !

You can park here in Ripon 24hrs for £2.50 https://www.harrogate.gov.uk/directory-record/660/cathedral-car-park-ripon
Don't know if you are allowed sleep in your van but I think some do.

Too late now - but are you sure you weren't looking at the CAMC site on the race course?
There's a large tarmac'd area before you go on the site, where you could easily park for a few hours - unless it was raceday.

Doh ! Didn’t see that but thanks. We’ll look harder next time
