The Kent Event Centre has parking for up to 30,000 vehicles. For events within the Showground site there is hard standing around all the exhibition halls with plenty of overflow parking within easy walking distance. For public outdoor events, organisers can choose car parking to correspond with the public entrances they require. The Kent Showground has six entrances with disabled parking at the main two entrances.
Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Kent Event Centre has over 200 acres of outdoor space including a private woodland. The site is secure with a permanent perimeter fence, up to 6 public entrances, electricity and water throughout and toilet and shower facilities that can cater for up to 30,000 visitors.
As well as acres of open outdoor space, the Kent Event Centre offers enclosed rings and a 30 x 40m sand school, perfect for activities from showjumping and dog agility to drone flying or a football match.
We’re home to numerous outdoor events, from music concerts for up to 20,000 people, outdoor cinemas and large shows – we have the flexibility here to suit any type of event.
With the flexibility that our outdoor space offers, we welcome outdoor bookings all year round for anything from dog agility, fly ball and other canine activities to sports events such as sponsored walks, organised runs and equine events.
