Priestfield Stadium is the home of Gillingham FC — the Gills — in the Medway town of Gillingham, Kent. A traditional, atmospheric football ground, it fills with home support on match days. This guide covers Priestfield Stadium, getting there, and fixed-price transfers around the Medway towns and Kent for the game.
Priestfield is a classic lower-league football ground — compact, traditional and atmospheric, right in the heart of Gillingham. As Kent's Football League club, Gillingham draw loyal support from across the Medway towns and beyond, and match days bring a proper football buzz to the area. The ground's town-centre location means the surrounding streets get busy, and local parking is limited, so getting there and away smoothly takes a little planning.
Gillingham station is within walking distance, but busy on match days.
Door-to-ground, fixed price, and a pickup after — no parking hunt or crush.
Near the M2, but match-day parking near the ground is very limited.

A Gills match at Priestfield is a proper Kent football day out, and the Medway towns offer plenty for before and after — the pubs of Gillingham, and historic Rochester nearby with its castle and cathedral. For fans travelling in from around the Medway towns and Kent, a fixed-price transfer makes the day easy: everyone travels together, no one worries about parking near the tight ground or driving after a few pints, and an agreed pickup afterwards beats the crush. For groups especially, it's the relaxed way to enjoy the game.
Understanding the Medway towns setting of Priestfield enriches a match-day visit and shows how a fixed-price taxi ties the area together. Gillingham is one of the Medway towns, a cluster of historic and interconnected towns in Kent that includes Chatham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham, strung along the River Medway. Together they form a substantial urban area with a rich heritage, particularly around Chatham's Historic Dockyard, once a great naval shipbuilding centre and now a major visitor attraction where you can explore historic warships, submarines and centuries of maritime history. Nearby Rochester is a gem, with its imposing Norman castle keep, its ancient cathedral (the second oldest in England), and charming streets steeped in Charles Dickens associations — the author lived nearby and the area features in his novels, celebrated with an annual Dickens festival. This heritage means a trip to a Gillingham match can easily combine with exploring the wider Medway towns, whether it's the Dockyard, Rochester's castle and cathedral, or the riverside. As Kent's Football League club, Gillingham gives the area its league football, and Priestfield's traditional, town-centre atmosphere is part of the appeal. For fans coming from across the Medway towns and wider Kent, a fixed-price taxi provides reliable door-to-ground transport, handling the tight local parking, and can equally take you to the area's attractions before or after the game. Understanding the Medway towns' heritage and connectivity shows how a match at Priestfield can be part of a fuller day out in this historic corner of Kent.
