Car Parking (Woodhorn Site)

Currently, the car parking situation is as follows:

Archive users will be offered a £9.50 membership to the Woodhorn Charitable Trust when they arrive on site [£8.50 for concessions] – for regular users this will be the best option, allowing free parking and access to the museum.
Woodhorn Charitable Trust has now introduced a new one off car parking charge of £5. This will be the most suitable option for one-off visitors, including overseas visitors who don’t intend to return within one year. This charge will allow entrance to both the Archive and Woodhorn Museum.
Archive users who arrive on foot with no requirement to park a vehicle will be granted free access to the Archive only.
