About Whitstable

Known for

The Whitstable oysters (world famous since Roman times), the Oyster Festival (one of England's most celebrated food festivals), the beach huts, and a Kent seaside town with exceptional food culture

A little history

Whitstable oysters have been farmed since Roman times and were sent to Rome by the cart-load. The Whitstable Oyster Festival, held every July, is one of England's most celebrated food events. The town has a distinct character — bohemian, artistic and food-focused — that makes it one of the most visited day-trip destinations from London.

Local tip

Whitstable Oyster Company and the harbour for fresh oysters. The Oyster Festival in July is genuinely excellent. The beach huts for the classic Whitstable experience. The town for outstanding independent food.
