What Shop, Sponsorship and Venue Hire Options Are Available Through Dartford FC?

Updated

Dartford FC's official website (dartfordfc.com) covers three non-ticket services: a club Shop for merchandise, Commercial and Sponsorship pages for partners, and Princes Park hire options that include pitch hire and kids' parties. The site confirms these areas exist and names some of what they contain, but it does not publish prices, booking forms or availability for any of them. To actually buy, sponsor or book, you will need to use the contact route on the relevant page rather than complete a transaction on the site.

Club Shop: Merchandise and Away Kits

The site's main menu includes a Shop entry, and the homepage carries an "Away Kits Now Available!" promotion with an "Order Now!" link. That is the clearest merchandise signal on the page: replica away kits are the item the club is actively pushing.

What the page evidence does not show is a product catalogue, sizes, prices or delivery terms. So treat the Shop as the entry point for club merchandise, with the away kit as the confirmed current item, and expect to confirm stock and cost once you are in the shop section.

Sponsorship and Commercial Options

The menu lists a Partners section containing:

  • Current Partners – who the club already works with
  • Commercial Updates – club commercial news
  • Sponsorship – the main sponsorship entry
  • Match Day Sponsorship – a dedicated page for sponsoring a single fixture
  • Sponsor Spotlight – features on individual sponsors

There is also a "Donate to ellenor!" item, which points to the club's charity partner rather than a commercial package. Match Day Sponsorship being split out from general Sponsorship suggests two distinct routes: a season or club-level partnership, and a one-off matchday association. The site does not list tiers, benefits or costs, so the practical next step is to open the Sponsorship or Match Day Sponsorship page and use the contact details there to request a package.

Princes Park: Pitch Hire and Kids' Options

Venue-related services sit under the Club Information and People menu, in an entry labelled "Princes Park (Pitch Hire etc)". The "etc" matters: the site groups pitch hire with other ground-related uses rather than publishing a separate venue-hire brochure.

A separate Kids menu entry covers Mini Darts, Parties and Mascots — so children's birthday parties and mascot appearances are handled as club activities rather than as generic room hire. As with the Shop and sponsorship, no rates, capacity figures or booking calendars appear in the page evidence.

How to Proceed

What you want Where to start on dartfordfc.com What the site gives you What you still need to confirm
Merchandise / away kit Shop; "Away Kits Now Available!" link Confirmation that away kits are on sale Price, sizes, delivery
Club or matchday sponsorship Partners → Sponsorship / Match Day Sponsorship The two sponsorship routes and current partner list Packages, benefits, cost
Pitch hire at Princes Park Club Information and People → Princes Park (Pitch Hire etc) That pitch hire is offered at the ground Rates, availability, terms
Kids' parties / mascots Kids → Mini Darts / Parties / Mascots That parties and mascot bookings exist Dates, pricing, what's included

Because none of these pages publish prices or online booking in the material reviewed, plan on making direct contact through the details on each page. If your question is about watching a match rather than merchandise or hire, the site's Matchday Tickets and Season Tickets pages, plus its FAQ, are the relevant starting points instead.
