What's on in the Isle of Thanet

A full events diary means there is always something to do and a lot of it is free! Join in a ceilidh during Broadstairs Folk Week, look to the sky at Margate's Big Event or relax on Margate's piazza whilst listening to top quality jazz bands. Even out of the main summer season there are exciting events like the Big Sky Festival of Motor Sports, Kite Festival and Broadstairs Food Festival - a great excuse for a weekend away.

In addition to this there are art galleries to explore, theatres where you can see wonderfully entertaining productions and up-to-the-minute cinemas showing the latest releases - so much choice.
