VISITKENT
DISCOVER A HIDDEN WORLD OF ADVENTURE
ON THE KENT COAST
QUEX PARK IS KENT'S MOST EXCITING DAY OUT FOR ALL THE FAMILY.
LOCATED 15 MINUTES WEST OF MARGATE, ESCAPE THE STRESSES OF
EVERYDAY LIFE AND BE ENCHANTED BY THIS MUST-VISIT DESTINATION.
Established by John Powell-Powell, Quex Park
is a historic country estate, but like many
traditional estates, it has diversified its many
redundant and outdated agricultural buildings,
but has retained its beautiful Victorian
splendour.
The park is now the proud home to many
visitor attractions, leisure activities, bespoke
retail and food & drink outlets, as well as
offering a packed and exciting annual events
calendar with something for the whole family
to enjoy.
Quex Park is best known for the award-
winning Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex
House and Gardens, which offers an exciting,
fun and interactive day out. You will find
amazing collections, natural history galleries,
a vast array of art and archaeology, one of the
most impressive dioramas in Europe as well
as being able to get hands-on in The Cube,
where you can handle over 400 objects.
Relax with a stroll around the beautiful
gardens of Quex House, the Secret Garden
Centre or Quex Craft Village before enjoying
a scrumptious afternoon tea at Mamma
Feelgoods café. Then, stock up with the
finest locally produced food and drink from
Quex Barn.
Quex Maize Maze will reopen on July 21st
with two huge mazes and exciting new
designs for you to navigate your way around,
along with interactive quizzes to create hours
of dizzy fun.
Entertain the children at Jungle Jim’s indoor
and outdoor playcentre. Challenge your family
and friends to a game of paintballing or
adventure golf – who’s going to be the winner? This attraction is an all-weather, all-family,
all-encompassing day out with a unique
community of local leisure businesses
brought together on a country estate where
you can make everlasting memories each
time you visit.
The Field of Fun reopened in May this year
and hosts a range of activities for the family
to enjoy including barnyard games, a
woodland adventure trail, coin-operated mini
tractors and the amazingly popular Jumbo
Jumper air pillow. Entry into the park is free and each attraction
has its own opening times and admission fees
where applicable. Plan your next adventure at
www.quexpark.co.uk - get ready for family
fun and expect the unexpected at this historic
Kent estate!
After the huge success of the Jumbo Jumper
Air Pillow last year, there has been a Mini-
Jumper added this year for 1-3-year olds,
meaning that the little ones can also enjoy
this great attraction.
