From sailing aboard the historic Greta Thames barge to a quiet hour in Whitstable Castle’s gardens, the town and surrounding area reward visitors who look beyond the obvious. The Oyster Festival in July is the calendar highlight, but year-round you’ll find live music at The Horsebridge, theatre at the Playhouse, exhibitions at the Museum and Gallery, and family-friendly trips along the coast and into the Blean woodlands.
