Manston arrivals and processing centre is a centre used for the processing of migrants who have crossed the English Channel, located on the former site of RAF Manston in Manston, Kent, United Kingdom. Opened in February 2022, it was intended to house around 1,000 to 1,600 people for less than 24 hours at a time, though by autumn 2022 it housed over 4,000 people at a time for up to 33 days.
The site is located three miles inland from Ramsgate, and is largely hidden from public view. As of August 2023, outsourcers operating at the site included Management and Training Corporation, Mitie and Interforce. It accommodates both adults and children, featuring a family section which includes facilities for parents with babies and toddlers.
