Parking overnight in Clitheroe

Post by Fretters » Fri Oct 15, 2021 6:26 pm

Evening all. I'm going to a wedding night do tomorrow at Homes Mill. Does anyone know of anywhere I could leave the car until the next day? I'm unlikely to get on the venue car park (if there even is one).

Ta!

I usually park at the side streets off waddington road towards brungerley park it’s about a 10/15 min walk from the venue though as a disadvantage.

There is a small car park there and you are allowed to park overnight, however, as you’ve identified you’re unlikely to get on it. Failing that drive up Greenacre Street past St James school and try and park on one of the streets off there. There’s an entrance to Holmes Mill on Greenacre Street so it won’t be a long walk.

Humble apologies, it’s handy for ribble tandoori & booths please apportion blame there.

I’m surprised more people don’t use it to be honest. Although it’s got so much busier with residents parking over the last 20 years or so.

I think more people especially families go on the sculpture trail the park is always busy when I attend & the footpath is popular with people going to chatburn.

Worst thing about that place is the lack of bar staff. Takes forever to get served.

There’s a long stay car park at the top of Whalley Road right across from Holmes Mill.

Yep, you feel like the invisible man. There can be four of them doing nowt and they stubbornly refuse to spot you! Can get rough at weekends as well, stopped going.

That’ll be because Blackburn types get in there. They don’t know how to behave. :lol:

Yes it seems to be the place that attracts all the out of towners, often your old scallies.

I don’t think it was ever any good, bit of an odd place really and not a fan of Bowland beer at all. Much better bars up town now.

Less trendy, but i very much like Rawtenstall for a day on quality beer. Start off in the place in the old Train station building and work back towards Burnley from there, ending in the White Lion? (i think) then on the x43 home. Plenty of little places to get a pint and you can probably not have 2 of the same one all day if that floats your boat.
