Make a day of it in Herne Bay 🌊🛍️

There’s something lovely about a Saturday in Herne Bay and our regular Saturday market is the perfect place to start.

This traditional market is at the heart of the community. Grab a coffee from the high street and browse the variety of stalls featuring fresh produce, quality foods, handmade crafts, gifts, clothing, household essentials and more.

Support local traders, grab a bargain and experience the charm of a traditional market in the centre of Herne Bay.

📍 Mortimer Street, Herne Bay
📅 Every Saturday
⏰ 10am–4pm

And don’t rush home afterwards, why not make a day of it in the Bay!

Have a wander through the shops in Mortimer Street, William Street and the High Street and discover our fantastic independent shops and businesses, stop for coffee and cake, enjoy lunch in one of our cafés, pubs or restaurants, or discover the latest exhibitions, galleries and creative spaces around town.

Then head towards the seafront for a stroll along the promenade and Herne Bay Pier. 🌊
