Visiting Hemswell Antique Centres
Located just a few miles from the historic City of Lincoln, Hemswell Antique Centres is renowned as the largest antiques centre in Europe. With four buildings and two coffee shops on site, there are thousands of antiques and collectables to peruse at your leisure.
PARKING
There is FREE parking available outside the front of each building. The Guardroom also has an additional car park to the rear of the building. A large carpark that used to be the “parade square” when used as an RAF base, is situated conveniently in an area surrounded by three of our buildings. Therefore, giving you an enjoyable walk between the centres allowing you to park in one place. (SUNDAYS ONLY - There is a small charge for this carpark).
SUNDAYS ONLY
Due to there being an outdoor Car boot and Sunday Market. There is a charge for the large parade square car park. All our own carparks directly outside our buildings are FREE. Hemswell Antique Centres charge a 50p per person entrance fee (SUNDAYS ONLY) which grants you entry to all four of our buildings. You will receive a ticket which has a perforated voucher allowing you to redeem your 50p against any purchase. This includes refreshments from our coffee shops.
