Maidstone tourism businesses are looking forward to welcoming back visitors and ask that you read the latest government guidelines to ensure you are fully informed about what is and what is not allowed. Please be considerate and respect guidelines which have been put in place for your own health and for those around you. Visit England have issued additional guidance, 'Planning a Holiday in England' that you may find useful.
It's Time to Enjoy Your England
There are many places to stay from self- catering accommodation, perfect for a longer visit, or hotels and guest accommodation that are ideal for a short break. Maidstone's rural location means there are fewer crowds, so there is plenty of space for you to enjoy a change of scene. Stop by the side of the road and buy some local cherries, walk along the footpath, explore the riverside and simply benefit from this beautiful part of Kent.
Most attractions are now open, although some may have restricted services and facilities. Gradually more attractions will be able to open more fully. Please check the arrangements at attractions and restaurants before you leave home. Limited numbers and advance ticketing or booking is commonplace now. By doing this you will avoid any disappointing situations and be aware of any facilities that are closed or unavailable. We endeavour to keep this website up to date with new ticket prices and opening times; however the situation changes rapidly. Each individual business has their own website with the most up to date information. Maidstone is lucky to have lots of open space and many outdoor attractions. There is a page of things to do for free, which is worth checking out.
For your Reassurance - We're Good To Go
Many businesses have signed up to the 'We're Good To Go' Industry Standard. VisitEngland, along with the other tourist organisations of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the UK government, has launched a new industry standard mark as a way of supporting tourism businesses and providing reassurance to visitors. The industry standard is a way of letting you know which businesses have made necessary changes to their day-to-day workings, including social distancing measures and staff training.
Keep an eye out for the mark when planning your trip. A list of businesses that have achieved this standard is listed below or you can follow this link to the We're good to go map, so that you can see what is close by.

Trawling through information on whether or not you can visit and whether its safe and whether you are going to find welcoming people can be a bit daunting. Here is some help, all in one place, so that you can make good judgements.
Can I visit Maidstone?
Yes. We are currently on Medium risk and on Tier 1. Which means that we are restricted nationally to groups of up to 6. Visitors are allowed to travel from a Tier 2 area to a Tier 1 area, or within a Tier 2 area for leisure purposes. If Visitors travel to a region which then goes into either Tier 2 or Tier 3, visitors do not have to curtail their holiday.
However, if you are a resident in a Tier 3 area you should avoid staying overnight in another part of the UK, and other should avoid staying overnight in the very high alert areas.
Are things open when I get there?
Our bars, restaurants and attractions are open and ready to welcome you. National standards with face masks etc apply, so you just have to sit down at a table, or until you go outside before you can take your mask off, but that will be the same as anywhere else.Y
What is your current local covid rate?
Our current local Covid-19 rate is 45 per 100,000.
