Welcome to Gillingham
Gillingham’s rich history is clearly evident along its characterful streets, which are lined with charming buildings housing independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and a number of ancient sites to explore.
However, while it maintains this strong connection with the past, the town also caters fantastically for modern life. There is a choice of supermarkets, retail parks, banks and a post office for all the essentials. Fitness is taken care of by the RiversMeet Leisure Centre, while the surrounding countryside and nearby River Lodden are perfect for connecting with the outdoors.
Local investment
A home is more than just a house, it's also the community that surrounds it. And that's why we invest in building communities that support local businesses, improve facilities in the area and help bring people together.
Over the coming years we'll be contributing...

We Give a Festive Boost to Gillingham Christmas Fair
We donated £250 to the Magic of Christmas Food and Craft Fair, which took place on Sunday, 24th November at the Riversmeet Leisure Centre.Now in its 10th year, the Magic of Christmas Food and Craft Fair is organised by Gillingham Homemade, a group for local crafters, artists and artisan makers.
With over 70 stalls, the fair was the perfect place to purchase handmade Christmas gifts by local crafters over the weekend while also enjoying snacks and hot drinks.
Our donation was part of our ongoing commitment to giving back to the community surrounding our Gillingham Lakes development and to help spread Christmas spirit.
Judy Watts, one of the organisers of Gillingham Handmade, said: “Thank you to Taylor Wimpey for the sponsorship, which was put towards our advertising costs. The event went well and was surprisingly busy despite the weather.”
Roz Wells, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “We are delighted to have supported the Magic of Christmas Food and Craft Fair this year with their advertising costs. Events such as these not only give the local community a lovely day out, but vitally support and celebrate local artistic talent.”

We Sponsor First Aid at Gillingham Carnival 2024
We are proud to have supported the community of Gillingham with a donation of £1,000 as this year’s First Aid Sponsor for the town’s largest event of the year, the Gillingham Carnival, which took place on Saturday 5th October.
Our sponsorship was used to fund the event’s first aid equipment and staff and is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the community local to our Gillingham Lakes development.
The Gillingham Carnival is a traditional West Country carnival, which originates from the early 20th Century, and is organised by volunteers. The event costs £10,000 each year to run, and is funded through fundraising and sponsorships from local businesses such as Taylor Wimpey.
This year’s Gillingham Carnival saw a footfall of 10,000 people and started with a series of smaller events during the carnival week, starting on the 29th September and consisting of competitions, shows, a funfair and more. The main event kicked off on Saturday 5th October, starting with an afternoon Children’s Procession and followed by a Steam Cavalcade, a Majorette Parade, and finishing off with a Grand Illuminated Procession in the evening.
Mary Bailey, Chairperson at the Gillingham Carnival Committee, said: “Both the Children’s Procession and the Grand Illuminated Procession were of an exceptionally high standard, with an exciting number of juvenile entrants who are of course the future of the carnival. We were lucky with dry weather all day which brought out a good crowd to watch and I am pleased to be able to say that the First Aid cover that Taylor Wimpey kindly sponsored was only required to treat a minor graze.”
Roz Wells, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: "We are delighted to support the Gillingham community with this sponsorship. This event not only allows Gillingham residents to enjoy a fun day and watch some spectacular performances, but also represents and celebrates the West Country identity and traditions this community is proud of."
Supporting the local community
We have made a significant contribution of £1,000 to the Gillingham Community Cinema, following the relocation of its facilities to a new venue. The donation will ensure that the residents of Gillingham can still enjoy the latest films. Originally located at the Gillingham Methodist Church, the cinema has relocated to Vicarage School room due to the closure of the church hall. The funds donated will be instrumental in addressing various expenses associated with the relocation process.
From essential electrical work to securing professional installations for specialised equipment, the donation will enable the cinema to overcome the upcoming logistical challenges.
