HIC has its own underground car park with around 158 spaces. The entrance is on Springfield Avenue and is easily accessible for Entrances 1, 2 and 3. Please note this car park will not be available to visitors on Sunday 26th November. This car park does however tend to get very busy so we would advise trying one of these other car parks in Harrogate town centre.
You will also find a further 1,200 spaces at the Jubilee (Sat Nav HG1 1DJ) and Victoria (Sat Nav HG1 5LQ) car parks located in the centre of Harrogate and just a few minutes walk from HIC Yorkshire and The Royal Hall. Please note that the Jubilee car park is the nearest and most accessible to the Royal Hall and HIC Yorkshire Entrances 4 and 5.
Special parking rates may also be available for those wishing to leave their vehicle for more than one day in the HIC car park. Please call the venue on 01423 537474 for more details.
