Here’s a taster…
Historic Happenings
Delve into Kent’s past with 2for1 entry offers at
the county’s most beautiful heritage sites. Learn
about the famous siege at Rochester Castle or
the Roman invasion of Dover Castle, and visit
iconic Kent landmarks such as Leeds Castle and
Canterbury Cathedral. Play Lord and Lady of the
manor at Penshurst Place and Gardens, or bring
out your inner salty seadog with a trip to The
Historic Dockyard Chatham. Hidden gems such
as Chiddingstone, Upnor and Walmer Castles
will enchant you, and National Trust’s 700-yearold moated manor, Ightham Mote, is a great
setting for a summer stroll.
Family Fun
Keep the kids happy this summer with dozens
of deals at Kent's top family friendly attractions.

Farming fun is on offer at Kent Life, or step back
in time to join Geoffrey Chaucer and his
companions at The Canterbury Tales. The wild
at heart can come face to face with species from
across the world at Howletts Wild Animal Park
or join an African safari at Port Lympne Reserve
and see giraffe, zebra, rhino and ostrich roam
free on the Kent coast.
Art, Culture and Shopping
Kent is rapidly becoming a must-visit destination
for art and culture enthusiasts, but it’s also the
perfect place to indulge in some retail therapy
and ‘me time’. You can visit the famous Turner
Contemporary in Margate for free and get 10%
off in the café and shop with your 2for1 deal.
Film buffs will love offers available at The
Gulbenkian cinema at the University of Kent, or
why not learn new skills with offers on fabric
printing and papermaking courses in Margate?
Amidst all that culture, take a break to enjoy 10%
off at Ashford Designer Outlet and 25% off spa
treatments at Dover Marina Hotel and Spa.
Thrill Seekers
The adventurous traveller is spoilt for choice when
it comes to outdoor activities in Kent, with 350miles of coastline and glorious rural landscapes.
Bring a friend for a wild day’s karting at Buckmore
Park, tear up the waves on a surfboard or jet ski,
try your hand at kayaking or horse riding, or keep
things mellow with a few rounds of golf at Hever
Castle, Roundwood Hall or Sittingbourne courses.

If you’ve ever wanted to try a new sport, the
2for1 campaign is a great way to get started.
Food and Drink
After all of that exploring, you’re bound to be a
bit peckish – so make sure you bag a great deal
on Kentish food and drink on your travels. Eating
your way around the Garden of England is easy
with 2for1; enjoy guided tours of Chapel Down
Winery, Shepherd Neame Brewery, Hush Heath
Winery and the orchards at Brogdale Collections,
or enjoy 2for1 offers on lunch and cream teas at
a range of beautiful cafés in stunning surroundings.
Stay
Whatever you choose to do by day in Kent,
remember that the fun does not have to end as
the sun sets! Book three nights for the price of
two or enjoy generous discounts on your total
stay at some of Kent’s beautiful hotels, selfcatering cottages and unique accommodation.
From indulgent spa hotels and quaint B&Bs to
cosy shepherds’ huts in nature reserves and
luxurious safari tents, visitors or residents looking
for a special treat will find plenty of tempting
deals.
Each offer has its own terms and conditions and
all are subject to availability, so make sure you
check the full details of the offer at
www.visitkentoffers.co.uk before redeeming.
Your travel ticket to Kent must be valid for the
day of travel to your chosen attraction.
