Whitstable Community Museum & Gallery

Lovely museum. I went to see the Rail 200 exhibition about the Crab & Winkle line from Whitstable to Canterbury in 1830. But it has a lot more interesting artefacts and information about things like oysters, fishing, Peter Cushing etc and definitely worth a visit.

My 1st time to Whitstable. Lovely museum to visit. Nice lady tells me history of the steam trains etc. So many charities shops 2 see and do man beautiful shops to see. Old history buildings and wall mural to watch out for. Love the mussels £12.50 for 8. Busy road in high street so watch out when crossing. Pebbles beach. A nice small harbour and stalls. I didn't get to see some sights. I would go back.

This is a fascinating museum expertly run by excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly guides. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, looking at the exhibits and everything being brought to life by its outstanding team there. If you’re visiting Whitstable it’s definitely a must-see. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable.

Delightful museum. A bunch of us were there for the Peter Cushing exhibition but there's more to it than that. Friendly staff who'll be happy to open up the rich seam of Whitstable's history. Stop by, you wont regret it.

The museum should be your first stop if/when you visit Whitstable. You will be able to appreciate everything you'll see in town after seeing all that this place has to show you: the history of the harbour, the shipbuilding, the Invictus, the Oyster, deep-sea diving, regatta, the community and some of its celebrity residents who have passed away. And to top it off, the museum has staff who are happy to provide answers to any questions you might have.

Tiny museum packed with items relating to the Whitstable area and includes a Small giftshop. There is a £3 charge for tourists visiting the museum.

I really enjoyed this little museum. Lots of nuggets of local information which made our stay in whitstable more interesting... Maunsell forts, Invicta and the floods. Learnt about the oyster industry and the town during the war. Even a bit about Peter Cushing. Only open odd times though.

Super friendly little museum with excellent railway history and cinematic interest.
