Harbour Village

buy local...be ethical

Come and visit Whitstable Harbour Village, the unique seaside community of leading artists, artisans, food producers and local independent retailers, all trading from their own traditional fisherman's huts. We have a full house of over 30 local harbour traders for the 2012 season, which is the sixth successful year of Whitstable Harbour Village. The huts are open every week-end and bank holiday from March until Christmas 2012.

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

Open every week-end and bank holiday from 10am-5pm, Whitstable Harbour Village offers an authentic retail alternative to dreary superstores and out of town shopping malls.

Enjoy lunch or a hot snack in the NEW Kentish Food Quarter, talk to local arts & crafts people, or just admire the views of Thames sailing barges, fishing boats and seabirds in Whitstable's unique working harbour.

Up to 10,000 people visit us in Whitstable Harbour every week and we are open every week-end and bank holiday until Christmas, so why not come and see us soon? We're local and we're not Tesco.

NEW for the 2012 season- Cafe Quayside, Gourmet Fishcakes, The Shake Shed.

Local artists/traders please note that we are now fully booked for the 2012 season but please download a booking form if you would like to be considered for the waiting list.
