You can only park for a single session for a period of up to 30 minutes. If you wish to park for longer you must pay for the total duration of your stay.
You can take advantage of free 30 minute parking sessions throughout the day, but they must start at least one hour apart. Parking machines will not accept a free booking unless one hour has elapsed since your last free session. You can however, still pay for your parking during this time.
