All of these busineses are Festival Friends. This means that as well as offering great value, service and products, they have also given financial support to this important community event. Every penny raised through the Festival’s Friends and Sponsor scheme is used to underwrite a festival event, making sure the festival can be enjoyed by as many as possible.
Whitstable’s reputation for excellent cafes and restaurants is no accident. Between them, our Festival Friends represent every type of eating experience, from a quick snack, a take-away through to a full meal. Look out for the 2009 Festival Friends sign - you won’t be disappointed.
