Students and staff will need a University of Kent parking permit to park here on site.
University staff and students are allocated a certain number of parking spaces here which is in line with the University’s lease arrangements.
To ensure the number of Kent vehicles at the Historic Dockyard remains within this allocation, a permit system has been introduced.
These permits will be available to students via the Medway parking ballot.
Visit the Uni pages for more info: transport webpages or email transport@kent.ac.uk.
Kent students and staff receive a 10% discount in the Wagon Shop and Mess Deck restaurants (excluding alcohol).
Please present your valid Kent ID upon purchasing

Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust welcomes the news that museums and visitor attractions are able to reopen to visitors from 4 July.
We are actively planning to welcome visitors back to the Dockyard as soon as we are safely able to do so but this will be some time after 4 July.
We will make a further announcement to confirm the exact date as soon as we can.
In the meantime, much of Dockyard life has never stopped. Master Ropemakers has started operating again and we are taking forward bookings for filming, group travel and hospitality, including weddings. Call the Midwife Official Location Tours will resume shortly.
We would like to thank all our visitors for their understanding during this challenging period.
