Greater Anglia calls it a 15-minute walk to the city centre, but Chapelfield Gardens is on the far side of the centre: about 0.85 miles from the station in a straight line (from the coordinates), so allow longer. First buses 25 and 35 run from the station forecourt into the city centre. National Rail lists step-free access to all platforms.

Parking is free and you pay on the bus: £3 per adult, £2 for ages 5 to 19 and concession pass holders, £4 for two people or £5 for a group of up to five (October 2026). Most sites have a bus about every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday and every 30 minutes on Sundays; Postwick is half-hourly and hourly. Sites close about 30 minutes after the last bus and the market runs to 9pm, so check the last departure. A sixth site, Costessey, does not serve the centre. | Site | Postcode | Spaces | Operator | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Airport | NR6 6JT | 620 | First Bus | | Harford | NR4 6US | 798 | Central Connect | | Sprowston | NR7 8RN | 788 | First Bus | | Thickthorn | NR9 3AU | 736 | First Bus | | Postwick | NR13 5NP | 525 | Central Connect | Source: [Travel Norfolk (Norfolk County Council)](https://www.travelnorfolk.co.uk/park-and-ride/), [page 2](https://www.travelnorfolk.co.uk/park-and-ride-sites/), checked 12 October 2026; [Christkindl Market Norwich (Fine City Events Ltd)](https://www.christkindlmarketnorwich.co.uk/), checked 12 October 2026. ### Parking The organiser points drivers to the multi-storeys at Chantry Place and Castle Quarter, and warns that car parks near the gardens fill quickly at peak times. Norwich City Council's own nearest are Chapel Field East on Chapel Field Road, Chantry on Theatre Street and the St Giles multi-storey. Daytime charges run to 6.30pm, then a flat evening charge applies, and a stay that crosses 6.30pm pays both. Blue Badge holders get an extra free hour for each hour bought at the two surface car parks, and half price at St Giles.
