Hicks Lodge

Parking charges apply at Hicks Lodge.

ANPR

Hicks Lodge now operates ANPR (automatic number plate recognition). 

We are a cashless site. Payments can be made by card or device. Members park for free with their annual pass.

Please ensure you pay on arrival for the duration of your stay. You are no longer required to display a parking ticket in your vehicle. 

Disabled parking spaces are available – normal parking charges apply.

RingGo at Hicks Lodge

You can use RingGo* at Hicks Lodge which allows you to pay for parking online or via an app by following 5 simple steps. Please download the RingGo App before travelling. We recommend using RingGo if you are unsure how long you are likely to stay as you can increase your parking period from anywhere in the forest on the app.

Open the RingGo app, login with your details, select the location by entering the number found on the parking signs. Enter your reg and choose how long you would like to park, then just tap to pay. 

If you’re not a smartphone user, you can still use RingGo to pay for your parking by calling 0203 046 0063. There is a small convenience charge for using this service.  See RingGo online for T&Cs.

We have a small dedicated area for horsebox parking located opposite our main car park. On arrival you will need to collect a key from the Café to unlock the barrier. 

Thank you for paying to park. We use the money you spend on parking to look after the nation’s forests. We don’t make a profit and rely on the support of our visitors and members, so every penny you spend is invested by Forestry England back into the management of our woodlands and is needed to make Hicks Lodge a great place for a day out.
