CAR PARK: The ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system is now live. It does not apply if you use the carpark to come to Sunday Masses (including the Saturday Vigil Mass). You just park as usual. If you use the carpark on another day to attend Mass or another service in the cathedral, and you do not wish to donate to the cathedral by paying for parking, you must obtain a one-use voucher from the sacristy or parish office. If you scan the voucher at the pay machine, you will be exempted from payment for the time of your visit, up to a maximum of three hours. Failure to pay or to scan the QR voucher will result in a £70 fine.
