THEATRE goers can now pick up discounted parking with tickets at one of Colchester’s most popular venues.
Colchester Council has announced the new partnership between the Headgate Theatre on Chapel Street North, Colchester, and St John’s car park on Southway.
Patrons will be able to get a discount on the cost of parking when calling the box office and buying seats for a show.
A similar scheme has been running between the Mercury Theatre and St Mary’s car park for the past three years.
Cabinet member Mike Lilley (Lab) said: “We are extremely pleased to have established this new partnership with the Headgate Theatre, to be its preferred parking partner."
Theatre chairman David King said: “Headgate Theatre are grateful to Colchester Council for its support in encouraging patrons into the area by offering convenient parking opposite the theatre’s doorstep.”
