The Essential Guide to Parking at Hull Fair 2026

Hull Fair is one of Europe’s largest travelling fairs, bringing more than 250 rides and an array of attractions to Walton Street. Road closures and parking restrictions apply around the site, so travelling to the fair requires some advance planning.

Here is your complete guide to where to park, official park and ride services, matchday parking at the MKM Stadium, and council parking restrictions for Hull Fair 2026.

Option 1: Official Hull Fair Park & Ride Services (Recommended)

  • Capacity: More than 650 parking spaces.

Option 2: MKM Stadium Parking (5-Minute Walk)

Option 3: City Centre Multi-Storeys + Walk or Bus

If you prefer to avoid the Walton Street traffic, city-centre parking followed by a walk or bus may be an alternative. Check each car park's current opening times, prices and availability before travelling.

  • St Stephen’s Shopping Centre Car Park (HU2 8LN): Beside Hull Paragon Interchange.
  • Osborne Street Multi-Storey (HU1 2NW): Near Ferensway and Carr Lane.

Additional bus services operate during Hull Fair. Check current operator timetables before travelling because routes and service numbers can change.

Disabled & Blue Badge Parking

Check Hull City Council’s current event information for accessible parking arrangements and follow the on-site signage. Display a valid Blue Badge wherever the applicable restrictions require it.

Strict Enforcement: Residential Permit Zones (Avoid Costly Fines)

During Hull Fair, Hull City Council publishes temporary road closures and permit-only parking restrictions on specified nearby roads, including:

  • Walton Street, Lowther Street, and Walliker Street
  • Paisley Street, Lonsdale Street, and Sandringham Street
  • Granville Street, Perry Street, Ruskin Street, and Arthur Street
  • Little Anlaby Road between Perry Street and the West Park access gates
