A big friendly welcome awaits you!

Visit Request Form

You have just taken the first step toward meeting a volunteer Greeter during your upcoming trip to Thanet and the three resorts of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. We look forward to welcoming you!

This form can only be submitted in English.

Request your visit at least 2 weeks before arriving.

A visit includes up to 6 people (including children and adults), with at least 1 person over age 18. Regretfully, we cannot accept groups of 7 or more people. Larger groups that split and submit separate requests are also not accepted.

Visits must start between 9 AM and 3 PM, and last for 2 to 4 hours.

A local Thanet telephone number with voice mail is necessary before we will confirm your visit. At this time we are unable to accept mobile phone numbers in place of a local Thanet telephone number.

If you have special needs or interests, a language preference or areas that you would like to visit, please tell us. It will help us match you with a Greeter.

Other information

Please understand that visits are subject to the availability of a volunteer Greeter. Submitting this form does not guarantee the availability of a Greeter.

Greeters are friendly and enthusiastic volunteers, and not professional tour guides.

If you prefer, leave the choice of area up to your Greeter by requesting a "Greeter's Choice" visit.

We will make every effort to fill your request, but appointments are subject to the availability of volunteers and are not guaranteed. Confirmation of your appointment will be sent directly to you prior to your visit but final confirmation from your appointed greeter will be exchanged the day before your appointment.

You will receive a confirming telephone call, email or fax from us giving you the name and contact information of your Greeter when we match your request to a Greeter.

If we have no Greeter available for your visit, you will be notified before your arrival. Please understand that sometimes we get very busy and run out of available Greeters.

If you cannot submit the form online, please copy and paste into an email or print and fax it us. We will be happy to answer any questions and can be reached via the following contact details:-
