Whitstable Oyster Festival

You haven't had the Whitstable experience until you have sampled one of its native oysters which remain an intrinsic part of Whitstable's character. Try the Royal Native Oyster Stores next to the Horsebridge, or Wheelers on Whitstable high street. If you get the chance, experience the famous annual Whitstable oyster festival that is celebrated every July. Make sure you book your Whitstable holiday cottage in plenty of time though, as this is a very busy period and most accommodation in Whitstable is fully booked in advance. If you want to find out more about Whitstable's oyster industry be sure to visit Whitstable museum.
