From traditional holiday-town charm, a world-class art gallery, sandy beaches, a cool cafe culture and tempting retro shops, Margate is waiting to welcome you. Margate`s Old Town rejoices in a cultural vibe - chic eateries, galleries and vintage shops mixed with traditional seaside delights. Major cultural regeneration projects – including the spectacular Turner Contemporary art gallery – are slowly reversing the town`s fortunes, and on busy days even the odd non-English speaker can be overheard in the hipster cafes and carefully curated junk emporia of the rejuvenated old town.
