Day 2 and once again Whitstable Harbour is jammed packed full of people, the glorious aroma of do many different wholesome foods, whilst the oysters are going down by the thousands. Street Entertainment troupes wander the day surprising and delighting visitors and a returning oyster eating champion holds onto his crown.

Having run out of oysters we turn to the community events with opportunities for children to create (with more than a little help from their parents!) and a treat for them with Alice and her Adventures in Wonderland.


Tuesday 27th July
Today the youngsters had a chance to learn about boats with the Whitstable Yacht Club, produce more terracotta figures on the production line at the Horsebridge and enjoy classic Punch & Judy with Prof. Des Turner. For the adults in the evening a choice of Comedy at the Playhouse, the Oyster Festival Quiz, or a 100 years of Whitstable in Film with Tony Blake.
