Hi all, after nagging my sister in law for umpteen ski seasons ( always suffers boot/feet issues) she has booked an appointment to see Colin at solutions for feet in Bicester in December.
I have never been there as my boots fit ok ( 2 sizes too big, red coz I like the boots in red  )
However as everyone on here states Colin is the man and she is almost in tears after a days skiing, so she has booked.
Myself and Mrs Baggins are driving her there,
where is the best place to park nearby
Tried googling it and no joy
Cheers

Just follow the signs for car parking, there's a couple of pay-and-display in the town center and you're only a short walk away.

There is a new town centre multi-storey as part of the Pioneer Square development (Sainsbury's) which allows you to park free for two hours. There is also a car park behind Colin's place called the Claremont on Victoria Road which allows you to pay and display for 3 hours.
The long stay car park is the Cattle Market which is also on Victoria Road. It is pay and display but you can stay beyond 4 hours.

You can park in Bicester village, the outlet shopping centre (unlimited time for free) and walk into town but it will be heaving with people in December (regardless of which day you are going). The best way to park there is to aim for Bicester Town station and park in the back end of Bicester Village car park then walk back past the station, turn left over the level crossing and walk into town from there.

^ that's a good point - you can end up in a field outside Bicester and getting bussed in when the Village is really busy

@Timbobaggins, Why not drop CEM a pm and ask him which car park would be the easiest/best?

@Timbobaggins, 3 best options are... Claremont car park on Victoria road behind wilko 3hour max (2 mins walk), above sainsburys development 2 hours for free, pay for 3rd hour (4-5 mins walk), Cattle market car park also on Victoria road all day (4-5 mins walk)
there is a little clicky linky on the bottom corner of the contact us page of the website http://www.solutions4feet.com/contact.php it doesn't show the cattle market,(whih is just further up the road on the right hand side on victoria road) and the sainsburys one is the bure place carpark which has been renamed

Got an appointment with Colin tomorrow am - so a bit late to check with him (I ca do senior stumbly). Can I take it that the Victoria Road car parks are still the best bet?
