Faith In Strangers Residents

No Requests is our residents' night at Faith In Strangers, Margate. Get down early, grab a table and settle in for dinner and drinks while the room warms up. Then our resident DJs and selectors take the booth and play it their way. No shout-outs, no requests, no "have you got anything a bit faster". Just local selectors who have earned the trust, and a room that came to dance rather than direct. Kitchen and bar from 4pm, DJs from 9pm till late.

Seal Spotting from Sandwich

Our Sandwich Seal trips are approx 1 hour and 45 mins departing from the Sandwich Quay. We will travel down the river Stour for 45 mins taking in all the hidden history on the way to see the seals. Whilst on route there is so much River wildlife to be seen Herons, Little Egret, Kingfishers, Oyster Catchers and plenty more. When we approach the entrance to the River on the edge of Pegwell nature reserve you will see the active resident seal colony. This colony started here roughly 30-35 years ago. With 15 mins to admire these beautiful marine mammals and capture the amazing views of our local coast line before heading back up River to Sandwich Quay.

A Day in Clay - Make Your Own Altar | Day Retreat at Walmer Castle

Due to popular demand, A Day in Clay: Make Your Own Altar is returning to the stunning historic setting of Walmer Castle, Deal, Kent, on Saturday 25th July. This special day retreat is hosted by Ramsgate Pottery and is an invitation to slow down, get creative, and reconnect with yourself through the grounding practice of working with clay. Guided throughout the day, you'll design and create your own unique altar - a deeply personal piece to hold intention, ritual, or meaning. Your teachers Gillian Farrell and Vivienne Yankah are talented ceramicists and experienced facilitators who will support you every step of the way, whether you're completely new to clay or you already love working with it. Food Nourishment will be lovingly prepared by retreat chef Eleanor Yankah, who has studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine. Expect vibrant, seasonal dishes, pressed juices, healthy snacks and home baked treats thoughtfully created to energise and sustain you throughout the day. The setting Walmer Castle is a Tudor fortress on the Kent coast with beautiful walled gardens and sweeping grounds. Your place includes full access to roam throughout the day - perfect for a wander between sessions or a relaxed alfresco lunch in the gardens.
