1. Junk Deluxe
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 14 reviews
Junk Deluxe are a double act, Benjamin, who has a particular penchant for anything industrial, metal, and modernist, and Hayley, who has an eye for off the wall, quirky items, that your Gran definitely never owned. Based in Margate, Kent, Junk Deluxe focuses on affordable modern design. Specialising in furniture and lighting, they stock items from the modernist 1930's, right up to the exuberant, quality conscious 1980s, and anywhere excellent in between.Junk Deluxe is deeply hidden within another shop, on a residential street, so it's best to come prepared with a map. Upon finding the shop, customers are usually surprised to discover a shop not filled with the usual mid century design cliches, but an array of unique and novel items that they have probably never seen before, and are unlikely to see again.

We visited over a year ago for the first time. We return just after lockdown to find this bar still alive and kicking. Great beer served perfectly, great banter with friendly locals - all served by a great host. All the social distancing and covid secure arrangements you could want. Has a great view of the beach, we will be back

This was our first ever escape room experience (me and my 10 year old son) so we chose to do "Pirates of the Polaris" Our captain was absolutely fantastic, welcoming, professional and incredibly charming, and we had great fun solving the really intricate puzzles and rooms. Very immersive and I would recommend to anyone. Hoping to come back and do "The Pit" on our next adventure.

We did the Detention room today (sadly it is closing soon) for our second visit to Ctrl Alt Esc and as with our last visit, found it to be a fantastic room. I like how their rooms here are 90 minutes long which means that there are lots of puzzles to solve. The detention room was a great setting and everything worked perfectly in the room. There was a good range of puzzles and the soundtrack to the room was particularly amusing, without being too loud or intrusive. Cat was a brilliant GM, full of passion and excitement, who was reserved with her hint giving, allowing us time to work things out for ourselves rather than jumping in with clues immediately. It was also great to talk to her afterwards and share escape room experiences - it does make such a difference when the GM has done lots of rooms themselves and knows what makes a good GM. Overall, for a small independent family run business, they offer some fantastic rooms that provide lots of entertainment.
6. The Shell Grotto
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,231 reviews
Pre-booking essential. The Shell Grotto is one of the world’s most mysterious places: a series of underground rooms and passageways covered by 2000sqft of exquisite mosaic created with 4.6 million shells. Discovered in 1835, nobody knows who created it, when, or why. “The grotto is simultaneously haunting and homely. It could be a lost pagan shrine or have ‘A Present From Margate’ picked out in the shells - it wouldn’t matter. It’s still magical, mysterious and (once it’s in your head) impossible to forget.” Far From the Sodding Crowd: More Uncommonly British Days Out, Penguin Books.

This is only a very small attraction but well worth a visit .. Had to prebook ticket due to the Covid-19 situation ... Amazing and mysterious display of shells lining a tunnel and underground room .. Friendly staff and nice gift shop .. Well worth a visit when in Margate :-)
7. Theatre Royal
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 142 reviews
A gem of a theatre in Margate town presenting an exciting mix of shows and events.
Reviewed By kevjeff54 - Hockley, United Kingdom
We attended a show compered by LUNATRAKTORS, an amusing folk duo supported by a number of female acts based around Power of Women and International Women’s Day. The show combined dance, song and music, poetry and of course old folk, otherwise known as Broken Folk by Lunatraktors themselves. The actual theatre oozes character and a long history dating back originally to the 18th century and is regularly seen to stage famous acts from London’s west end as well as local talent. A very cosy venue in a traditional style with balconies and boxes and magnificent decor. If anything could be improved it would be the external structure that needs a bit of TLC.
