FESTIVE MARKETPLACE 2023
We’re delighted to confirm that the Folkestone Festive Marketplace, Folkestone Harbour’s Christmassy Oasis of independent market stalls, festive films, snow blizzards, live music, carol services and delicious food & drink is set to return.
Want to be part of the fun? Applications are now open for Marketplace, Entertainment and Food & Beverage pop-ups.
FOLKESTONE HARBOUR IS OPEN
With Autumn now rolling in, it’s time to explore our new indoor spaces.
2023 OPPORTUNITIES
When the Harbour first reopened as a public visitor attraction in 2016, it was home to just 6 seasonal food & drink businesses. We’re incredibly proud that more than 60 independent businesses now call Folkestone Harbour home. Right now, we’re looking for new businesses for a variety of opportunities ahead of 2023. If you’ve got a unique offer you think will work in Folkestone Harbour, we want to hear from you.
Putters! Adventure Golf and Café
Putters!; our 12 hole Adventure Golf Course & Café set right into the beach at Folkestone Harbour, is now open.
Folkestone Harbour Arm: The Place To Be
Folkestone’s restored Harbour Arm is a beautiful promenade out at sea with a World-class view. Formerly a ferry port, Folkestone Harbour Arm is now home to a growing collection of independent businesses that has become a centre for Food, Drink and Entertainment in Kent; the Garden of England.
Join us as we reinvent the english seaside experience.
