This evening (Thursday, December 3) marks the first late night shopping event in the Christmas calender, so here is everything you need to know.
From 2pm all town centre car parks will be free, thanks to Maldon District Council who want to support the High Street following the second national lockdown.
This will continue every Thursday in December as well as January 7 and 14 next year.
Council leader Wendy Stamp said: "We are all acutely aware that coronavirus has had a devastating effect on all of the businesses in the district, and particularly our high street retail, hospitality and services.
"I am pleased that we have developed an excellent working relationship with the High Street businesses, and I hope that by offering free parking it will go some way to support them over this difficult period."
