For lovers of great ales and
books, this is the venue for
you. It used to be called The
Albion bookshop before a
newer owner cleverly added
in a micro pub!

A brand new venue, and a venue that’s pure in its love for music (they’re
selling out gigs left, right and centre). Their great local ale is only £3 a pint
(cheap for a music venue), the sound is brilliant, and there’s a separate bar
for the talkers as music is for listening here.

St Mary’s Arts Centre, Sandwich

A stunning 15th-century church that has been adapted to an arts centre,
the 300 capacity venue is one of Kent’s best-kept secrets.

The Lighthouse

There has been so much music and creativity in Deal over the last 5 years,
and the likes of “Coco’s Lovers” finally have a home for it. Serving only local
ales and lagers, with a great sound-system, music 3 to 4 times a week with a mixture of local, national and international music - there is always
something great going on.
One of the smallest theatres in the world, a converted Victorian Coach
house, complete with velvet seats and flock wall papers, this theatre is a
must visit – absolutely stunning.
