Temporary closure of Castle Row car park

Castle Row car park in Canterbury will be closed for around 10 months from next Monday (24 March).

This is related to our Connected Canterbury: Unlocking The Tales Of England project, with the car park set to be made more welcoming for visitors. We will also be using it as a compound for our project contractor, Blakedown Landscapes.

There is alternative parking available directly opposite in the Castle Street multi-storey car park.

Access to the Age UK building at Castle Row will not be affected as they have a dedicated access point.
The Connected Canterbury: Unlocking The Tales Of England project continues apace and people will start to notice activity happening on the ground.

Part of the project is about creating story gardens that help tell the stories of Canterbury as part of England’s history.

This will be done by landscaping existing public spaces to highlight their heritage significance and to encourage people to visit.

Work will be carried out in Dane John Gardens, Castle Row car park and Canterbury Castle keep and grounds.
