transport
getting to the ground

Gillingham FC has compiled a comprehensive guide
on how to get to Priestfield, to ensure you don’t
have any problems getting here on match day.
Unfortunately parking is not available at the ground
but there is a range of parking options within close
proximity. Full information can be found on the
‘Visit Us’ section of the official website.

By Car: If you are travelling to the ground on
match days, the route is well signposted ‘Priestfield
Stadium’ from all directions. Once you are in the
vicinity of the ground please follow temporary
match day parking signs to local car parks. There
is no parking at the stadium itself as priority is
given to away team coaches, players, match & club
officials. Woodlands Primary School has offered the
use of its car park for supporters. More information
is available at www.gillinghamfootballclub.com

By Rail: The train station is roughly a 10 minute
walk from the ground. The following online rail
journey planner might help you to plan your
journey: www.nationalrail.co.uk. On leaving
Gillingham Station turn left into Balmoral Road
and continue walking until you come to the end.
Straight opposite Balmoral Road you will see
Priestfield Road.
