Plan your Gillingham away day
Priestfield is compact and close to the station, making this a straightforward rail trip. Drivers need more preparation because the stadium sits inside a residents' permit zone.

Drive with a booking
Reserve a supporters' club or private space and navigate directly to its entrance.
Medway overnight
Stay around Gillingham or Chatham and add the Historic Dockyard or Rochester separately.
A sensible 3pm plan
11:30 - arrive at Gillingham station or the booked car park.
12:00-13:45 - use the Fleur De Lis, Livingstone Arms or Will Adams after checking the fixture policy.
14:10 - walk to the entrance named on the ticket.
17:00 - return towards the station while the permit-zone traffic clears.
Food and pubs
The Gillingham pub map marks the Fleur De Lis, Livingstone Arms and Will Adams as away-friendly based on current visitor evidence. Admission can still tighten for high-risk fixtures.
Things to do
The Royal Engineers Museum and Great Lines Heritage Park are convenient Medway additions. Chatham Historic Dockyard and Rochester Castle require extra local travel but suit an overnight trip.
Hotels near Priestfield
King Charles Hotel is the most practical established hotel on the Gillingham and Chatham side. Premier Inn Gillingham Business Park suits drivers but is farther from the station and stadium.
Gillingham and Chatham hotels
Premier Inn Chatham/Gillingham at Victory Pier and Travelodge Chatham Maritime give a broader overnight base around the waterfront. Check the final train, bus or taxi route to Priestfield.
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.
