The town of Whitstable has been associated with oysters for hundreds of years, with Festival roots that go back much further than even locals might think.

The Whitstable Oyster Festival is all about Whitstable, old and new. It’s a whole week of festivity celebrating Whitstable’s fascinating history and unique heritage alongside its contemporary talent and enthusiasm for fun.

From Saturday July 23rd to Friday 29th July, Whitstable has a mix of outdoor and indoor events including family, heritage, arts and food and drink.
