What to Do in Birmingham

1. The Bullring, Grand Central & Birmingham New Street — Park Up or Book Ahead

Birmingham's shopping heart sits right above New Street station, with everything from Selfridges to the Great Western Arcade a short walk away. It's one of the busiest spots in the city, especially at weekends.

Nearby you'll also find:

• Birmingham New Street station

• The Mailbox

• Grand Central's restaurants and bars

With car parks around New Street now on the National Parking Platform, you can park and pay near Birmingham New Street as you arrive — or, if you're travelling in for something planned, pre-booking near Birmingham New Street station means it's sorted before you set off.

2. The Jewellery Quarter — Turn Up and Pay, or Reserve Ahead

One of the UK's most historic industrial districts, the Jewellery Quarter is packed with independent jewellers, the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, and the Georgian streets around St Paul's Square.

Just around the corner:

• Great Western Arcade

• St Paul's Square

• Independent cafés and workshops

The Jewellery Quarter's multi-storey is now on the National Parking Platform too, so you can just park and pay near the Jewellery Quarter when you arrive — or pre-book a space in The Jewellery Quarter ahead of a workshop visit or a day browsing the shops.

3. Snow Hill & the Colmore Business District — Daily Park and Pay or Weekly Reservations

Birmingham's financial and business hub sits around Snow Hill — one of the city's three main train stations, alongside New Street and Moor Street — home to some of the city's biggest office towers and a steady stream of weekday commuters.

Now that its multi-storey is on the National Parking Platform, you can park and pay near Snow Hill on arrival, or reserve a Snow Hill space in advance if you're in every day and want your spot sorted before you set off.

4. Millennium Point & Eastside — Drop In or Plan Ahead

Home to the Thinktank Science Museum and Birmingham City University, Millennium Point anchors the Eastside district just a short walk from the city centre.

Its multi-storey is also on the National Parking Platform, so you can park and pay on arrival, or reserve a space near Millennium Point in advance if you're planning a full day at the museum.

5. Edgbaston — Book Ahead for Matchday

Home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club, Edgbaston Stadium hosts England Test matches, ODIs, T20Is, and Birmingham Phoenix fixtures in The Hundred, drawing crowds of up to 25,000 on major match days.

Nearby you'll also find:

• Edgbaston Village

• University of Birmingham

• Cannon Hill Park

Matchday parking near Edgbaston books out weeks in advance, so this is one to pre-book a Reservation for rather than leave to chance.

On-Demand Parking in Birmingham

Not every visit is planned in advance. Whether you're heading to the Bullring, a business meeting near Colmore Row, or a spontaneous wander round the Jewellery Quarter, flexibility matters.

Park and Pay with JustPark allows you to:

• Find available spaces nearby, including council car parks and on-street bays now on the National Parking Platform

• Pay digitally through the app, with a digital receipt for every session

• Avoid cash, machines, or paper tickets

• Get a reminder as your session nears its expiry, and extend it remotely if plans change

This is especially useful in busy areas like Snow Hill, the Jewellery Quarter, and around New Street.

Where to Find NPP-Enabled Car Parks in Birmingham

Open the JustPark app and search Birmingham — NPP-enabled locations including New Street, the Jewellery Quarter, Snow Hill, and Millennium Point will show up alongside other available spaces in the area.

When you arrive, look for the JustPark sign or location code at the car park or bay, enter it in the app, and you're parked in seconds.

Finding Parking on the Move

When plans change mid-journey, JustPark helps you stay flexible. With voice control via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, drivers can search for nearby available parking while keeping their focus on the road.

Navigating into busy areas like the Bullring, Snow Hill, or the Jewellery Quarter becomes simpler, even during peak hours.

Pre-book Parking in Birmingham

For busier days — weekends, event nights, or big matches — pre-booking Birmingham parking uniquely through JustPark means you can search driveways, commercial car parks, and supermarket spaces ahead of time, and put any vouchers you've unlocked toward the cost.

It's also worth building into a habit rather than saving for one-off events. If you're a regular visitor to Birmingham — for work, university, or matchdays — booking a Reservation each time keeps your vouchers working for you and builds toward the next milestone.

Best areas to book parking:

• Book near Brindleyplace: Ideal for waterside dining and an easy walk to Utilita Arena for gig nights

• Find parking near Utilita Arena: Convenient for concerts and events at the arena

• Reserve a space in Digbeth: Perfect for the Custard Factory, street art, and weekend markets

• Reserve near Snow Hill: A good option for regular commuters who'd rather have their spot booked in before the working week starts

Pre-booking means you can head straight to your space and start enjoying your day.

FAQs about Birmingham Parking

Do I need to pre-book parking in Birmingham, or can I just turn up?

Both work. At NPP-enabled locations like New Street, the Jewellery Quarter, Snow Hill and Millennium Point, you can simply park and pay when you arrive. For other spots like Brindleyplace, Digbeth or Utilita Arena, pre-booking a Reservation in advance is an alternative solution.

Will I be charged Birmingham's Clean Air Zone fee if I park in one of these car parks?

Yes, if your vehicle doesn't meet the required emissions standard. Birmingham's Clean Air Zone covers the city centre inside the A4540 Middleway and runs all day, every day — non-compliant cars, taxis and small vans are charged £8 a day, while fully electric and compliant petrol and diesel cars are exempt. The charge is separate from your parking fee and applies regardless of where you park within the zone.

Can I extend my Park and Pay session if I need more time?

Yes — if your plans change, you can extend your session directly from the JustPark app before it expires. You'll also get a reminder as your session nears its end, so you're not caught out.

How do I unlock my parking vouchers in Birmingham?

Vouchers unlock automatically as you Park and Pay with JustPark in Birmingham. You'll get a code after your 1st, 2nd, 5th, 10th, and 15th session — worth up to £25 in total. Codes are only unlocked at these five milestones, not on every transaction, so you'll need to be logged into your JustPark account each time you park and pay so we can email your code.

How do I redeem a Birmingham parking voucher?

Click the link in your email and the code will be added to your JustPark account. It's then applied automatically to your next eligible Reservation at checkout. You have 14 days to use each code once it's redeemed — the clock starts from when you click the link, not when the email arrives — for any future booking date.

Can I use my voucher on a Park and Pay session?

No — codes redeem against pre-booked Reservations only. They can't be used against Park and Pay transactions, SeasonPass, EventPass, Multi-Day EventPass, Multi-Booking Cart, or any other product.

What happens if I cancel a booking I used a voucher on?

The code is treated as spent and won't be reinstated, even if you receive a refund for the booking itself.

How long does this voucher promotion run for?

The promotion runs from Monday 3 August until 23:59 on Friday 9 October.
