Whitstable Community Museum and Gallery

Whitstable, with neighbouring Chestfield, Seasalter, Swalecliffe and Tankerton, have the most amazing and varied histories.

Our volunteer-run museum prides itself in telling the local stories of Diving, Fishing, Shipwrecks, Shipbuilding, Oysters and has one of the world’s oldest railway locomotive, Invicta, on display.

We particularly welcome children and we have many enjoyable but challenging activities to amuse them. Whitstable itself has many quaint, old buildings and alleyways which present a gloriously mixed street scene.
