Parking in Dorchester
We have compiled a list to help with your shopping trip or visit to Dorchester. The following businesses are participating in the Parking voucher scheme. Your first 2 hours of parking in the town’s car parks and at on-street meters will be refunded mostly against a minimum £10 purchase. Click here for a printable list
Pay for your parking as normal but take the tear off BID parking voucher with you when you leave the parking ticket in the car. Look out for the sticker in the windows of participating stores. Present your parking voucher when you come to pay your bill for goods or services of at least £10 (in most cases).
PLEASE NOTE: If you use an on street parking meter you will only get a single ticket and you need to leave that in your car. You can get it refunded later or on your next visit to town as none of the businesses that accept the parking refund mind what the date is on the ticket!
