So look out for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelbaer 10 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 There's Fremlin Walk for shopping which has pretty much any chain store you imagine, there's also the chequers centre for more shopping. There's a leisure centre in mote park which is quite good. There's a big odeon cinema with some restaurants in. Mote park is also worth a look round, there's a pitch and put, miniature railway etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good but it's not that big, Maidstone isn't too good for shopping. The Mote Park leisure centre is again nothing special and i'm sure Mote Park will be too full of Big Weekend preperations for it to be enjoyed properly!Maidstone is a nice town but there is little to make it stand out, i would reccomend the museum if your into that sort of thing as entry is free The nightlife is also very good, with numerous clubs and pubs in the town centre, so don't limit yourself to just daytime activities folks!
