What's on in Margate

Kent, England

Margate sits right on the Kent coast and manages to be lively without needing a single festival in sight. The George & Heart has been serving up local talent for years, while seaside stalls often pop up near the promenade when the tide is low. Not bad for a town that used to be famous for its pier alone. Pub nights drift through the week and the odd market fair keeps things interesting for families and friends alike. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you aren't wasting time scrolling on your phone this weekend. It really is that simple.

Margo in Margate: Sisters with Secrets

Sisters with Secrets transforms The Pie Factory into a space of quiet revelation, collective memory, and unspoken truths. At the heart of the exhibition is the idea that secrets are not signs of weakness, but evidence of survival — stories held back, swallowed, protected, or carried in silence. Through painting, print, and installation, Margo invites visitors into an environment where confession becomes a form of release and solidarity.
