10 Things to do in Sittingbourne That You Shouldn't Miss
Sittingbourne is an industrial town situated in the Swale district of Kent in south east England, 17 miles (27 km) from Canterbury and 45 miles (72 km) from London. The town sits beside the Roman Watling Street, an ancient British trackway used by the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons and next to the Swale, a strip of sea separating mainland Kent from the Isle of Sheppey. The town became prominent after the death of Thomas Becket in 1170, since it provided a convenient resting point on the road from London to Canterbury and Dover.

This museum is Covid aware and yet the visit is not compromised by the restrictions. Being mostly in doors is also a bonus. One small group at a time means personal attention from the knowledgeable staff there. We went during their Harvest display and learnt so much. The tea room is very reasonable and there’s a lovely selection of unusual things for sale. Going back in November and will buy some Xmas presents. Such a lovely hidden treasure.

Booked a private course for a friend and I as part of a work project exploring micro adventures in the UK and had so much fun. Monique was a brilliant mentor and the end product was some amazing baked goods, a wealth of knowledge and the confidence to recreate the recipes myself at home for the family.
7. Kent Kings Speedway Sittingbourne

Speedway Racing – Mondays at Central Park Stadium. It’s a pure adrenalin rush as speedway riders’ race against each other on 500cc bikes which can accelerate from 0-60 quicker than a F1 car, with NO BRAKES, NO GEARS, NO FEAR!!! Two teams of seven riders race against each other over 15 heats, with 2 riders from each team in every heat, racing around a 268 metre oval circuit. Accelerating into the bends at 60mph then flicking out their rear wheel is a sight to be seen!!! The winner earns his team 3 points, second place gets 2 points, and 3rd gets 1 point. It's fast, it's furious, it's family entertainment and it's here at your local track!

As a family we have been to watch the speedway a few times. We have always found the stadium to be great family friendly fun. We can have a bite to eat, something to drink whilst we watch the most exciting sport in Kent. It seems to attract everyone from the very young to the very old, male & female. If you’ve not been before your in for a great treat.

Some gardens you walk into and just get the feeling, and this is one of them. It’s gorgeous and full of interesting plants such as the Californium tree poppies (Romneya). The topiary is excellent and there are features of interest at every turn. The cakes and drinks were yummy, and the weather was good to us. What’s not to like?
