We know how busy the festive season can be, and we’re working hard to keep your visits to The Oracle as smooth as possible.
As part of our destination improvements and plans to future-proof our car parks, we’ll be carrying out essential works over the next few months:
- Holy Brook Car Park - Level 2 will have 50 fewer spaces from 8 Nov to at least 27 Dec, and no EV Charging. We'd advise those that need EV Charging to park on level 7 at The Riverside, where charging is available.
- Riverside Car Park - We’re upgrading CCTV for your safety, with minimal disruption expected.
We’d encourage visitors to use Riverside Car Park where possible, and thank you for your patience while we make these improvements for the future
