Getting to Faversham
The Assembly Rooms are on Preston Street, between Faversham Kebab House and Yeung's Chinese Takeaway. To get inside, walk through the gates to the right of the front door and the entrance is on your left about thirty yards down.
By train
Faversham Railway Station is connected to two main lines from London and two heading out to the coast. Trains from Victoria via Bromley South and St. Pancras via Dartford all pass through Medway on their way to Faversham. In the other direction there are lines in from Dover via Canterbury East and Ramsgate via Herne Bay.
​
​
This means it's entirely practical to stay in Canterbury, Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Herne Bay and still have a short train journey each day.
​
​
On arriving at Faversham Station, go down the stairs from the platform and turn right towards the main ticket hall. Outside the Station turn left and cross Station Road at the crossing. Walk past the corner of the Railway Hotel into Preston Street and the Assembly Rooms are about fifty yards down on the left.
By car / parking
Getting to Faversham from M2 Eastbound
Travelling along the M2 Eastbound, leave the motorway at Junction 6 and turn left towards Faversham on the A251. At the end of the road, turn left onto the A2 and immediately right into the Mall, towards the Town Centre.
​
Getting to Faversham from A2 Westbound
The A2 and A299 westbound meet at Brenley Corner roundabout, which is also Junction 7 of the M2. From the roundabout take the A2 exit towards Faversham. Just after passing the junction with the A251 on your left, turn right into the Mall, towards the Town Centre.
​
Driving around Faversham
Once you arrive at the junction between the A2 and the Mall, it's really easy to navigate to the centre.
Turn into the Mall and follow the road. It turns left, right, and right again in order to go under the railway bridge and around the station. As soon as you've made that second right you're driving past the Co-Op on your left with the station coming up on your right.
Long-stay parking is on the left just before the Co-Op. For the Assembly Rooms, turn left after the Co-Op into Preston Street and they're about fifty yards down on your left. For the central car-park, keep going past the Assembly Rooms, take the turn to the left (it's mandatory anyway) and the entrance to Bank Street is about fifty yards on your right.
​
Parking
As with many small towns, street parking in Faversham is a dark art, with arcane overlapping regulations. Thankfully there are two decent car-parks in the centre of town within a very short walk of the Assembly Rooms.
Faversham Central Car Park is a multi-purpose car-park which can be entered via Leslie Smith Drive, from South Road, or down Bank Street from Stone Street.
There is a long-stay car-park accessed from Station Road, next to the Co-Op.
