All but Royal Priors are Warwick District Council's. Its pages give one daytime tariff, 8am to 6pm, with no Sunday exception: £1.55 or £1.70 for an hour and £5.90 for four hours (read October 2026). The surface car parks are short stay, so St Peter's is the one for a longer visit. On Sunday 15 November, the lights switch-on day, the council's off-street car parks in Leamington are free from 8am; Royal Priors and on-street charges still apply. Blue Badge holders are not charged at St Peter's, where the lift was out of use when we checked. | Car Park | Postcode | Spaces | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | St Peter's multi-storey | CV32 5EL | 377, with 6 disabled | £1.55 an hour, £5.90 for 4 hours, £8.30 for 10 hours (October 2026) | | Covent Garden surface | CV32 5QB | 89, with 8 disabled bays | £1.55 an hour, £5.90 for 4 hours; 4 hour maximum (October 2026) | | Bedford Street | CV32 5DT | 49, with 2 disabled bays | £1.70 an hour, £5.90 for 4 hours; 4 hour maximum (October 2026) | | Chandos Street | CV32 4YU | 151 | £1.70 an hour, £5.90 for 4 hours (October 2026) | Source: [CJ's Events Warwickshire](https://www.cjseventswarwickshire.co.uk/events/leamington-christmas-market-15th-november-2026), checked 12 October 2026; [Warwick District Council](https://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/news/article/1494/light_up_the_district_%E2%80%93_christmas_light_switch_on_events_start_the_season_of_sparkle), [page 2](https://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/directory_record/10116/st_peters_multi_storey_car_park/category/361/royal_leamington_spa_car_parks), [page 3](https://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/directory_record/10119/covent_garden_surface_car_park/category/361/royal_leamington_spa_car_parks), [page 4](https://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/directory_record/10121/bedford_street_car_park/category/361/royal_leamington_spa_car_parks), [page 5](https://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/directory_record/10120/chandos_street_car_park/category/361/royal_leamington_spa_car_parks), checked 12 October 2026. ### What Else Is On Leamington's Big Lights Switch On is on Sunday 15 November 2026, the same day as that week's market.
