Worcestershire Royal Hospital Parking

The Trust operates both a 'pay on foot' and a 'pay and display' car park charging system. The 'pay on foot' payment system means that you will be given a ticket at the barrier as you enter the car park. When you leave the hospital please use one of the pay machines to pay the charge and have the ticket validated. Pay machines at WRH are situated inside the main entrance,  and in each main car park.  

The pay and display machines are located at road side spaces and smaller in car parking areas that are not barrier controlled. The pay and display pay stations only accept the following coins: £1, 50p, 20p and 10p. Please obtain a ticket before you leave your car and ensure that it is clearly displayed on you dash board or window. Some pay and display machines will accept card payments, please see signage on individual machines confirming what payment options are available.

Please note that these machines do not give change.

We also offer on street mobile parking payments for those spaces that are not in one of our barriered car parks. This can be paid for using the RingGo app. Download the RingGo app and follow the on screen instructions to register and pay for parking.
