Grab a ticket to see an exciting range of performances and events at The Marlowe Theatre or discover eclectic exhibitions and interactive displays at The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge.

History

No trip to Canterbury would be complete without a visit to Canterbury Cathedral. Wonder at the stunning medieval stained-glass windows and take in the rich 1,400 years of history before simply enjoying the peaceful gardens that surround the cathedral. Be transported back in time at Canterbury Roman Museum: built around the remains of an original Roman townhouse, this museum is full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

The King’s Mile is the city’s creative and independent quarter. Explore the quarter’s unique stores that offer everything from handcrafted jewellery to a boutique art gallery before stopping for an al-fresco coffee at one of the many cafés and restaurants. Make sure you head to the 17th-century crooked house, also known as Sir John Boys House, and have your picture taken next to the infamous crooked door.
