All you need to do is show proof of purchase for either Cineworld, Paradise Golf, Rock Up or 360 play and we’ll gladly extend your stay by taking a few details from you!

Please note, the FREE five-hour parking restriction does not apply after 5pm, which means you can shop, eat and explore during our less busier periods up until the last showing of the cinema, which could be as late as midnight. Overnight parking is not permitted at any time.

Accessible Bays

Located beside the current blue badge holder parking bays, purple bays – marked with a large white A – are intended for use by people who require a little extra space when getting in and out of their vehicles.

If you are visiting us for the first time, the accessible bays can be found outside Accessorize, Wildwood, Fat Face, Moss Bros., Boots, M&S, Next , New Look and House of Fraser and in the East Terrace car park outside Cotswold Outdoor, Hobbycraft and Decathlon.

If you do have a blue badge, then continue to display it when you use these accessible bays the same way that you would do with a standard disabled parking bay.

We hope that parents and people with small children, as well as carers and people who themselves require additional space, will find them a welcome addition to Rushden Lakes.
