Kent is a truly beautiful county in the southeast, and is often referred to as the 'Garden of England'. It’s filled with colourful orchards and lush gardens, some of them just minutes from the festive venues included in our guide. Canterbury is at the heart of Kent, where you’ll find the iconic Canterbury Cathedral - an architectural beauty that has a Romanesque crypt, mediaeval stained glass and a rich 1400-year history. Here, you’re likely to find Christmas venues with a cosier more traditional ambience. On the coast, in the north of Kent, you’ll find Whitstable, a gorgeous coastal town that is dotted with colourful cottages and has a busy harbourside selling fresh fish and seafood. Then there’s Margate, another popular seaside town, which is where you’ll find the Turner Contemporary, an art gallery showcasing the very best contemporary art.
