When is the most affordable time to visit Gillingham?
The most affordable time to visit Gillingham is generally during the shoulder seasons of spring (late March to May) and autumn (September to October), outside of school holidays. During these periods, you're more likely to find better deals on accommodation and potentially cheaper train tickets, as the demand from domestic tourists tends to be lower.

For solo travellers, visiting midweek during these months can yield even greater savings. Many smaller guesthouses and B&Bs in Gillingham and the surrounding Medway towns offer reduced rates from Tuesday to Thursday. Plus, attractions like Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle, which are free to enter or charge a modest fee, will be less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience.
