Eating out and places to visit:
Eating out is a pleasure in the city. Nearby the hotel
are a multitude of restaurants including those offering
English, French, Italian, Thai, African, Mexican, Morrocan,
Chinese and Indian cuisine, many with excellent local reputatons.
We will be able to advise on these of course.
The Marlowe
Theatre, only a short stroll away, has an enviable reputation
for its live shows, including plays, ballet and musical
events. The nearby Gulbenkian
Theatre at the University shows many fringe films that
you're unlikely to see elsewhere, plus talks from media
stars, plays (see www.thecanterburyplayers.co.uk
for their current production), live music and other events
of an intellectual nature.
Talking of nature, "The
Blean Initiative" is something nature lovers may
be interested in. The Blean is a large woodland complex
near Canterbury, second only to the New Forest in size.
In addition there are night clubs, many traditional pubs
and bars, a cinema, health and leisure centres, art galleries
and museums, the famous "Canterbury
Tales" and more venues than you could visit in
a month of Sundays.
In nearby Whitstable, you can sample the local oysters,
for which the town is justifiably famous, along with other
wonderfully prepared seafood, in such places as "Wheelers
Oyster Bar", a well-renowned and popular seafood
restaurant. Whitstable also has numerous galleries, a theatre,
coffee shops and its famous alleys which you'll find all
around the town centre. |
