Car parking 

As a busy 24/7 hospital, car parking is always in great demand, so please make sure you leave plenty of time to find a space if you’re arriving by car.

When you get here signs will direct you to the main visitors’ car park, found at the rear of the Hospital. There is also a smaller car park on Fountain Street, while visitors to A&E can also use the multi-storey car park. To improve security, most car parks have automatic barriers.

You will need to take a ticket on entry, keep it with you and pay for your parking using one of the five pay stations when you return to your car.

Parking charges are as follows:

  • 0-30 minutes - Free (insert ticket at exit barrier)

Alternative parking is also available on Darnton Road, opposite Stamford Park. For parking fees, please check Tameside MBC's website at www.tameside.gov.uk. The car park can be found at this postcode: OL6 6RL.
