WHITSTABLE GUIDE Independent ideas for your day out

Art and exhibitions / WHITSTABLE

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.
