Whitstable is very fortunate to have its own theatre, The Playhouse, which is owned and managed by The Lindley Players Limited.

A great little theatre with friendly staff and brilliant facilities... all run by volunteers. They're now branching out into tribute shows and 'one-offs' as well as local amateur dramatics so are assured of a fine future. Seats all have a good view of the stage (although the front seats in the middle of the balcony have very little legroom so choose elsewhere if you have dodgy knees!). Last time I went was to see "See how they run" , a wonderful farce that they did with fine form. Parking in Whitstable is, to say the least, at a bit of a premium, but there is a car park situated just behind the theatre which seems to always have spaces [It's one where your number plate is read on entry so you may wish to set up an account before your visit with Canterbury City council parking to save looking for change in the dark and cold when you leave the show.]

I have recently visited and feel very safe and welcome. The safety precautions are the best I have seen with each table divided with make shift walls and each of the staff wearing face masks. The selected beer and spirits are exciting and new, perfect for a micro pub. Highly recommend as a local!!

Half Croatian Cafe-Bar
Reviewed By 111samj - Canterbury, United Kingdom
I'm from Canterbury and each time I visit Whitstable this is my absolute 'go-to' bar/ cafe. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, there is a great range of drinks including Croatian wines and beers alongside locally produced cider and a range of other options. It has a really lovely atmosphere, well worth a visit for drinks and nibbles with friends, as a couple or to sit and while away the hours with a book.

Gorgeous, smart little museum going back off the high street - it’s bigger than it looks. The Staff were so welcoming and engaging with our children. This is a good place to visit fir adults or kids of all ages. Small, quaint and beautifully presented local treasures.

We have walked this in both directions, but prefer to end in Whitstable, a cheeky beer on the beach is a nice reward. The walk its self is nice, it's not too hilly, and has some lovely scenery. It can get busy in parts, lots of dogs and families which is nice to see. Lots of cyclists are on the same path. Recommend it as an easy walk with or without kids, suitable for all.

I have known this area many years, since childhood and seen lots of changes. It has now become a really tourist trap with little huts of craft work on display and for sale, food, the fish market is the best and service and the Crab and Winkle cafe excellent. New development of shops and food hall being built and it goes on with attraction. Really worth a visit day and night.
