Sharing Folkestone’s former town hall with the visitor information centre, this museum is somewhere to dive into the town’s absorbing history. Folkestone Museum has just been overhauled with help from the Heritage Lottery Fund and reopened in 2017. There are five main themes: Fashion, Frontline, Maritime, Natural and Ancient. “Fashion” recounts Folkestone’s evolution from low-key fishing village to chic Edwardian seaside resort, while “Frontline” documents the town’s role as the first line of defence for South East England. There are Roman artefacts and dinosaur fossils in “Ancient” and “Natural”, while “Maritime” explores Folkestone’s close ties to the sea, from fishing to smuggling and shipwrecks.

was Leonard Lauder that said ‘If you don't learn something every single day, it's a wasted day.’ We here at Visit Kent never want you to waste a day, so we’ve got education and fun wrapped in one. Folkestone Museum is a little gem and a fantastic place to explore the rich history of the town, from its origins as a coastal community through to its heyday as a fashionable seaside resort and beyond. Popular with little and big kids alike.

The Museum takes you on a journey through the history of Folkestone, from its origins as a humble coastal community, through to its heyday as a fashionable seaside resort and beyond.”
