HOMETOWN is right in the centre of Rochester. The town is easily accessible to the rest of Kent and London and just a few minutes drive from the A2 and M2.

By train we're a 5 minute walk from Rochester station, with trains to London, Kent and the Kent coast. From London, trains depart from St Pancras, London Bridge, Blackfriars, Victoria and Charing Cross - you choose!

Short stay car parks are just a few minutes walk away - use Cathedral car park, Corporation Street (Station) car park or for long stay - Rochester Riverside (multi storey). For all Rochester car parks click here.

HOMETOWN has step free access from the high street and is accessible for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and prams. Assistance dogs are welcome in the store.

In summer there are plenty of plenty of outdoor spaces and seating areas for your partner to enjoy. After all you may be some time! During colder months they could have a coffee and read the papers in one of the many great independent cafes. Thinking of visiting as a quilt group? Do let us know in advance, so we can put out the welcome mat…

Whilst in Rochester, why not explore the rest of the historic high street with its specialist independent shops. Plus we’re awash with interesting places to visit - the Norman Castle and Cathedral, plus Eastgate and Restoration Houses, the Huguenot and Guildhall museums. Walking tours take place weekly from outside the Huguenot Museum.

KEEP IN TOUCH!

The easiest way to see regular updates from us and see inspirational quilts, is to follow us on Instagram or Facebook. Just click on the links on the bottom of any page. It’s so easy to be on either platform. All you need is an email to register; you don’t need to make any posts yourself. My Mum is in her 90s and is on Instagram, so give it a whirl!
