A compact town day for the museum’s normal Thursday-to-Saturday opening pattern. Walking times are estimates; allow extra for crowds and access needs.
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.
