Overnight Parking In Lewes

I need to park at or near the station on a Sunday morning in August and return on the afternoon of the following day.
I've looked on the Southern Railway Parking website, but it doesn't look like they permit it.
Any other ideas please?

People seem to park (for free) in the car park of Southover School during the holidays. Very close to the station.

two possibilities I can think of , getting visitor parking vouchers and scratch and display the one for the Monday , or not sure if this works but if u park in a zone that doesn't charge for the sunday park up pay the day rate and it should be valid for the next payable time so from 8am Monday till 6pm Monday , however worth experimenting in the zone you wish to park in

I think, if you put money in the machine of some of our car parks it works out when a payment is valid until, even if it is free the day you put the money in. You could check with car park owners or test the machine without printing ticket, but seeing what it says on digital screen.

If you go to the ticket machines I think you can buy multi-day parking. I've done this before but not recently.

Since you are using your car to get to Lewes station, why not drive a bit further and park in Burgess Hill for free (and including Monday) just 5 minutes walk from the station? No worries about parking tickets etc.

Parker's right - in the streets around me in Southover on a Sunday you would feed the machine with the cost of parking for a day, and it would issue a ticket covering the next day. I'd be surprised if that system didn't operate in the Mountfield Road car park, which is pretty well next door to the station.

When I said ticket machines, I meant the railway ticket machines - they also let you buy parking for multiple days for the station car park. Or at least they used to.

In the station car park you can pay by phone. You may well be able to pay for more than one day, but even if you can't you don't need to return to your car to top up your parking - just call up and add another day.
