Harbour Grotto

Festive Marketplace

The magic returns this December!

The Harbour Grotto is quite unlike any other Grottos in Kent. The bespoke, beautifully designed space will take over The Customs House; a stunning heritage space just next door to our Festive Marketplace.

Once you’ve experienced the surprise within; please keep it to yourself!
