One for the locals and visitors - hear of the artists, lovers and rockstars who found their haven in Margate. Local wine tasting after too!
Starts at 1pm
This 1 hour walking tour, along Margate's seafront into the Old Town, covers the town's history from 45 BC, through it's history as a holiday getaway, then as a haven for artists, lovers (and the occasional rock star) in more recent times... to the spot it is today.
Bowie, Marx, Doherty, Hawkwind, Peter Sellers, JMW Turner, Tracy Emin, Del Boy and even James Bond...all feature!
A fun tour whether you are a local or a visitor - starts at The Shakespeare pub, near Margate rail station, then a gentle stroll through the spots along the seafront that feature in these historical tales... to end in Margate's old town. And those who stay on afterwards will have the option to taste some of the local wines, ales (and cheese!) together in the wine bar 'Little Swift'.
Its a fun and witty talk, that should give a whirlwind tour of Margate's colourful history. Tell your friends - and hopefully see you there!
