Medway Leisure
Onsite sports facilities include sports hall, gym, tennis courts and croquet lawn.
The Medway region is a haven of history, the campus is based in Chatham Maritime, near Chatham’s historic dockyard. Close by is a pub overlooking the river and the Dockside Outlet Centre, which has plenty of good-value shops.
The area surrounding the campus is currently undergoing development to enhance its business, housing and leisure facilities. A multi-screen cinema opened in 2006 and Dickens World, an attraction based around the life and works of the author Charles Dickens, opened in 2007. This offers rides and animatronics and a Dickensian shopping mall with a mix of themed restaurants and bars.
Rochester, a couple of miles to the south, is proud of its castle and cathedral. Rochester stages events throughout the year, including music concerts and Victorian-themed Dickens festivals. In nearby Chatham you can find shopping centres and high street stores, while Rochester offers a range of quirky shops along its cobbled high street.
For those interested in watching sport, the nearest football league ground is Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium; Kent plays county cricket at Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury; and the Invicta Dynamos ice hockey team play regularly at the Ice Bowl in Gillingham.
