Entertainment

The quiet charm of Broadstairs is enhanced by a full entertainment programme: an annual Dickens Festival(June), a week long festival of music and dance in August, a Water Gala, Summer fun days and a Food Festival. Plus, there are so many restaurants, bistros, cafes and pubs to choose from - you could eat your way around the world!

Try your hand at Surfing in Joss Bay, or treat the children to hours of fun at the indoor all year Activity Centre of Helter-Skelter Play Centre, featuring play equipment for all ages.

Lillyputt Mini-Golf is a must for families; Dicken's House and Crampton Tower provide a glimpse into Broadstairs past as do the neighbouring town museums in Margate and Ramsgate.

Further afield Quex Country Park with its Craft Village, Farmers Market, Garden Centre and Powell-Cotton House, with frequent fairs, events and country shows, provides plenty for family members of all ages.
