parking

[Deleted]

Hello, I'm s Stevenage fan, on your website it says a place to park is the Maidstone east train station? Could you tell me the prices of parking there please?

Don't bother use either the invicta car park thinks it Stacey street or hopefully the charity car park (it's the job centre one) definitely in Stacey street about £3.00 compared to £5+ in the station

how long can i park at the job centre one? do you know the postcode for it? i have found something online that says the train station is £4.50

Its a night game, you can park for free in the side streets after 6.30pm.

probably going to be arriving around half 5/6 though, this charity car park for £3 sounds good, if its open

I'm pretty sure the charity cat parks, both invicta house and tower gate, only open on Saturdays, as they are both business car parks during the week.

I think you're right Daveu.
There are parking bays along three sides of the prison (Lower Boxley Road etc) it's free for two hours up to 18:30 then free unresticted thereafter.
And as Mackster says you can park on a single yellow after 6:30 if you arrive later.
Once parked find the Society Rooms (Weatherspoons) in Week Street opp. Maidstone East station

why do they need CAT parks ?

Of an evening I now park in Fremlins Walk, then a ten minute walk. £2.00, but only if you arrive after 7.00 pm.

Just checked on my way home and the station car park is £4.50 after 2pm (you can pay by phone if you want to).

About the time you're arriving, the car parks will be emptying and the side streets filling up, but if you can find a residents parking space in one of the side streets, you can park for 2 hours without a permit or after 6:30 (so that effectively means from 4:30). There's lots of small/medium pay and display car parks scattered around the side streets (e.g. Wheeler St, Jeffrey St, Brewer St). Parking in these is usually £2 for 3 hours, £3 for 4 (I think).

Coming from the motorway, down the A229, at the second roundabout (next to the new Library and hideous blocks of flats (white with black lines - you can't miss them), take the first exit and go right at the next roundabout for the station car park (entrance is on the right, well before the station - just past the old Post Office sorting building). Or go straight on for side-street/pay and display parking - follow the road along by the prison and turn right at the mini roundabout at the top, follow that road through the traffic lights and turn right at the next set of lights next to Aldi (into Wheeler St). There's a small pay and display on your left just past the RSPCA shop, or at the cross roads immediately afterwards (Eagle Inn), turn left for the Jeffrey St car park or right for the Brewer St one. From any of these you're less than 10 minutes from the ground. (Google Earth/map is your friend - it's easier than my directions!)

Enjoy your visit (but not too much!).

Most of those are either £1 or £2 after 6pm I think and you can stay all night.

gingerinthepink, are you the one we were singing about at one point on Sunday?

Also, after 6:30 metered parking on the street are free

Invicta house car park is free during the week in the evening, you only have to pay from Friday night to Sunday Night. so I always park there.

Which/where is that? Is it the KCC building opposite the old PO sorting centre?

I wondered about that, but couldn't see any signs.

Invicta House for sure
