The Belfry, Beighton parking fine: rules, free time and how to appeal

The Belfry, Beighton is a leisure car park serving The Belfry pub (Greene King) in Sheffield, on Eckington Road, Beighton (S20 1EQ). Parking here is managed by Britannia Parking, a private operator and member of the British Parking Association (BPA), so a ticket from this car park is a private Parking Charge Notice, not a council fine.

Britannia Parking enforces the rules at The Belfry, Beighton using number-plate recognition (ANPR) cameras that log the time you drive in and out. If you got a charge here it will usually have arrived by post, addressed to the registered keeper, and the times on it are camera times, not the time you parked.

The rules at The Belfry, Beighton

Parking at The Belfry, Beighton is free for The Belfry pub (Greene King) customers only. The terms we recorded: Free for pub customers who register their vehicle at the bar or entrance.

To park free you must enter your registration on the tablet or terminal inside The Belfry pub (Greene King). The cameras check visits against those entries, so a customer who forgets this step will usually get a charge. If that happens, the codes treat a missed registration as a reason to cancel or reduce the charge to £20, and your receipt is the evidence.

Cameras were installed in September 2026, when Greene King brought in Britannia Parking at three of its Sheffield pubs in the same week. Greene King's advice to customers is to keep the order receipt: a charge issued to a genuine customer can be cancelled through Greene King Customer Relations if you send the receipt with the charge reference. Do that as well as appealing to Britannia Parking, not instead of it, so the 28-day appeal window doesn't run out while you wait.

How to appeal a charge at The Belfry, Beighton

1. Don't ignore it. Note the date on the notice: you normally have 28 days to appeal to Britannia Parking, and 14 days to pay at the reduced rate if you decide to pay.
2. Gather evidence: photos of the signs and where you parked at The Belfry, Beighton, receipts, payment records, and anything that explains why you stayed longer.
3. Appeal to Britannia Parking in writing. Keep to the facts and keep a copy. If you were not driving, you don't have to say who was.
4. If Britannia Parking rejects your appeal, it must give you a code to appeal to POPLA, the independent appeals service for BPA members. POPLA appeals are free, and you have 28 days from the rejection to use the code.

If you were at a film, class or match

Films, classes and fixtures can run over the free time. Your booking confirmation or ticket shows when it started and ended, which is useful evidence.

Some leisure sites give longer free parking if you enter your registration on a terminal inside. If you missed that step, the government code caps the charge at £20 once it applies.
