The summer holidays are now upon us and we are seeing all the families visiting.
This leads straight into the Matlock Bath Illuminations and we are filling up fast. September weekends are all taken now but we still have some weekends left in October for the fireworks. So get booking before it’s too late.

Matlock Bath parking 😀Matlock Bath is a beautiful village in Derbyshire with 750 residents.

In the village we have 829 car parking spaces

Station Car park, Pavilion,Temple Walk, Artists Corner and Masson Mill. Additional to this Cromford Mills has 385 spaces.

Additional to this on street parking on North and South parade limited to an hour.

We also have an hourly train service and at least 4 different bus services hourly through the village.

To be honest this is a exceptional Derbyshire Village that welcomes everyone and I am not aware of anywhere else in Derbyshire that copes with the amount of visitors as well as we do.

Happy Bank Holiday
