Saturday 12th September 2026
£35 per person
Join us for a day of Music, Tradition, Fun and Flavour celebrating the mighty oyster and everything that makes the coastal town of Whitstable so unique. Steeped in maritime history and community spirit, Whitstable is the perfect place to eat, dance and explore – and of course, celebrate oysters ! Whitstable’s love affair with oysters goes way back – all the way to the Roman Empire, when Julius Caesar’s soldiers developed a taste for Kent’s finest molluscs.
The iconic, historic ceremony of the Landing of the Oysters is the soul of the Whitstable Rocks Oyster Festival – a tradition dating back to 1657. Local fishermen and sailors bring in the first symbolic catch of oysters and ceremonially land them on the beach. A Blessing of the Sea follows – a timeless ritual of giving thanks and asking for the ocean’s continued bounty. This is accompanied by the Whitstable Sea Scouts & Brass Band & Samba Pelo Mar leading a vibrant community procession to East Quay.
