Harbour Village

buy local...be ethical

Come and visit Whitstable Harbour Village, the exciting community of local producers, designers, artists and independent local retailers. We have exciting new exhibitors for summer 2010 including Cocoa and Spice, the artisan patissierre with yummy cakes and confectionary and the Whitstable Juice Company offering refreshing smoothies from locally sourced fruit.

This fabulous alternative shopping experience is located on the South Quay, in the heart of Whitstable Harbour, in Kent, set amongst the fishing boats and next to the Thames sailing barge, GRETA.

Open every week-end and bank holiday from 10am-5pm, plus week days in the high season, Whitstable Harbour Village offers an authentic and ethical shopping alternative to dreary out of town malls, for people who value local products and independent local suppliers.

Sample local produce, browse around independent local retailers housed in traditional timber fisherman's huts. Enjoy local arts and crafts, try home made food or something from the French deli, get advice on gardens and plants or just admire the views of Thames sailing barges, fishing boats, seabirds and the Swale estuary.

Up to 10,000 people visit us in the harbour over week-ends, so why not come and see us soon?
