Parking at the Brighton Centre 

At the BGS Autumn Meeting at the Brighton Centre this year, we are delighted to be able to offer your delegates car parking rates in the city of just £12.50 for 24 hrs. This offer is only applicable at the Regency Square car park, which is situated on the seafront about a 3 - 4 minute walk to the Brighton Centre.

How it  works:

Upon entering the car park, take a ticket from the barrier. At any time on the day you wish to leave (and to help avoid queues), take your ticket to the information desk located in the foyer of the Brighton Centre where you can pay for your parking and have the ticket validated. Once your ticket has been validated, you will be able use it at the car park exit barrier when you leave.

Please be aware that if you pay and validate your ticket at the car park, you WILL pay the standard car parking tariff. Tickets must validated and paid for at the Brighton Centre to get the reduced rate.

Directions to Regency Square car park:

If you drive straight past the Brighton Centre heading west towards Hove, make sure you are in the right hand lane and look out for the signs to turn right after the Hilton Hotel, for Regency Square Car park.  It is underground so doesn’t look like a car park from the road, but if you follow the sign to the entrance (go straight up the street), go through the barriers into the car park,  it’s then best to follow towards the exit and park on the lowest level which give you instant access to the seafront.

Please note, there is a height limit for the car park; it is 2.13 metres and spaces are limited; it is a first come first served basis.
