The Horsebridge galleries
Whitstable’s community arts centre has changing exhibitions a short walk from the harbour. The free galleries suit a small art stop rather than an all-day museum visit; workshops, films and other programmed events offer separate reasons to return.
Look at the current exhibition dates: a favourite artist or subject will not necessarily be showing on your visit.
