Information about our car parks

Our car parks are covered by CCTV and security staff patrol regularly.

We operate barrier car parking, pay and display car parking and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). How you need to pay will differ as to where you park.

Calderdale Royal Hospital 

Barrier car parking

In our car parks that have a barrier on entry, we operate a pay-on-foot system. Please take your ticket to a pay station before returning to your car and exiting the car park. There are pay stations located in each of the public car parks or in the main entrances of the hospital.

The pay stations take coins and notes and give change.

Pay and display 

We have a small number of pay and display parking spaces near the emergency department at Calderdale Royal. The same charges apply but you will need to buy a ticket as soon as you park up and display this in the windscreen. These car parking areas do not have a barrier. These machines do not accept notes or give change.

Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Acre Mills Outpatients

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology is in use in all our car parks at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Acre Mills Outpatients.

Your number plate will be registered by the system when you arrive. This means you will need to enter your car’s registration number into the pay machine before you leave the car park.

You can pay by cash or card.

If you are exempt from paying for your parking or have a blue badge, you should go to the front desk in the main entrance, or to a colleague on the Greenlea Ward. Our staff will validate your stay for you. Please take your blue badge with you. 

If you require guidance, please contact our reception staff. If Acre Mills is closed when you come to pay please use the machine in the main entrance at HRI or in the overflow car park next to Acre Mills (which is accessed next to the Wire Works public house).

If you are travelling to an appointment or visiting by car, please allow extra time for parking, as the car parking spaces fill up quickly during peak times. 

Weekly car parking pass (£35)

You can buy a weekly pass for £35. They are available from our General Offices at HRI and CRH (during office hours).

If you park with us out of hours you can put the cost of your ticket towards a weekly pass by purchasing a weekly pass the next working day.

Pay for your parking as normal and keep your receipt. Bring the receipts to the General Office the next working day when we will put the amount you have paid towards the cost of the weekly pass.
