Weekdays Monday to Thursday tend to be less busy in town.
Friday is market day with stalls in Broad Street & High Street. Saturday also sees a market in High Street and in Red Lion Square. These two days attract a lot of visitors to the town
so arrive early!
Sunday is busy around midday to mid-afternoon.
At busy times, like the run-up to Christmas, ensure
some forward-planning to make the most of your visit!

Friday Market
The best days to visit and where to park your car
Stamford is an ancient town of narrow streets and lanes so town centre parking is limited or short stay. However, there are many shoppers' car parks in short walking distance, & mostly on the flat...see below
Shoppers' and Visitors'
car parking.
Please pinpoint these exact locations using Google maps
North Street, small: short & long stay
Wharf Road, larger long stay
Bath Row, large short and long stay
Cattle Market Station Road, largest long stay (except for Fair week, following Mother's Day)
​Scotgate, small, short stay
St. Leonard's St., small, short stay
​
Street parking includes:
Broad St: restricted to one hour but ideal for pick-up (no Friday access & no access on Remembrance Sunday or Fair week, following Mother's Day)
Bath Row: parts of this car parking area
are free, others Pay & Display
Recreation Ground Road/Conduit Road & their continuations: short stay restrictions in place
​
​Accessible parking: in most car parks and usually free.
​
Motorcycle parking available in most car parks
​
It is a good idea to bring coins in addition to your bank/credit card, and have access to the car park app "Ringo" on your phone
as sites may vary.
​
Pick-up points:
You may drive along the
High Street pedestrian precinct before 10am and after 4pm on any day to collect from shops. Please note that on market days stalls are being constructed/may be slow to clear, but access, with care, is still permitted.
Stop at The Cornish Bakery to collect items from Hoptroff & Lee!
