Parking must be booked in advance; visitors are told not to drive to Chatsworth without a booking. Full-day parking is from £25 per car and after-3pm parking from £15 per car; parking is free for Chatsworth Friends and Patrons. When the main car park fills, parking moves to trackways across the parkland and a tractor-and-trailer shuttle runs between numbered stops and the market. The shuttle is wheelchair and pushchair accessible and ends 15 minutes after the garden closes. During wet weather, trackways may be slippery and muddy. There is no dedicated parent-and-child parking and a space close to the house or toilets/baby-changing facilities is not guaranteed. Local village parking is monitored; visitors are asked to use public car parks and designated parking areas. A Park and Ride service is available from Calton Lees Garden Centre car park.

The market is set on an incline with pedestrian trackways, ramps available on request, accessible toilets including Changing Places, and a wheelchair-accessible shuttle service.

Tips & Advice
- Book your car park ticket before travelling, bring the booking confirmation, and have a copy for every car in a multi-car booking.
- Wear sturdy shoes suitable for uneven, wet and muddy ground, and consider bringing a torch for the trackways.
- Blue Badge holders should show their badge to parking marshals on arrival so they can be directed to a nearby space or shuttle stop.
- Ask a team member in a Chatsworth hi-vis top for a ramp if you need one to access the market trackway.
- Consider travelling by bus or using the Park and Ride, since Chatsworth requires advance parking bookings and local village parking is restricted.
