Gillingham travel guide

Getting there & parking

Priestfield sits in a tightly packed residential district about a ten-minute walk from Gillingham station. Permit streets surround the ground, so drivers should use an authorised supporters' car park or reserve a private space rather than searching beside the turnstiles.

Parking options

Compare official and private matchday parking

Official matchday parking

There is no general public stadium car park. Gillingham Supporters' Club currently operates three matchday car parks for home and away fans, all around five to ten minutes from Priestfield; opening times and capacity vary by site.

The March 2026 club guide listed a £5 cash charge, but check the current supporters' club page before travelling. Accessible arrangements must be booked with the club in advance.

Private matchday parking

JustPark has a dedicated Priestfield Stadium page with reservable private driveways and managed spaces. This can remove the risk of arriving after the small supporters' car parks fill.

Check the walking route, permit-zone access, vehicle size and booking end time. Allow enough time for stoppage time and the post-match pedestrian crowd.

Availability, prices and access arrangements can change by fixture. Always check the booking details before travelling.

By train

Gillingham (Kent) is the practical rail arrival. Southeastern high-speed trains from St Pancras can take about 45 minutes, with conventional services from Victoria and Thameslink options from Blackfriars.

From the station, turn left onto Balmoral Road and follow the signed route towards Priestfield. Check weekend engineering work because replacement buses are common on the Medway routes.

By bus or coach

Local buses serve Gillingham town centre and the roads around Priestfield, but the final walk is usually simpler from the station.

Away coaches must set down and collect at Croneens Yard in Railway Street. The club specifically asks coaches not to use Redfern Avenue; the away entrance is about five minutes back along Gillingham Road.

Driving

Priestfield is within reach of the M2, A2, Medway Tunnel and A289. Use the postcode supplied by the car-park operator, not only the stadium postcode, because the authorised parking sites have separate entrances.

Balmoral Road, Priestfield Road, Gordon Road, Redfern Avenue and numerous nearby streets are permit-only. Read every sign and do not block residents or emergency access.

After the match

The residential roads and station approach become busy immediately after full-time. Walk back to Gillingham station with a realistic connection margin and check platform information before entering the station.

Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 15 September 2026.
