Another reason to come to Sandwich this Bank Holiday weekend… 🌿🦆

Tucked away just a few minutes from the town centre is Gazen Salts Nature Reserve, and on Saturday it’s opening its doors for a special Nature Discovery Open Day.

📅 Saturday 29th August
⏰ 10am–3pm
📍 Gazen Salts, Strand Street, Sandwich

There’ll be:

🌿 guided walks around the reserve
🦋 family nature activities
☕ refreshments
🛍️ stalls
🦆 and plenty of wildlife to discover!

It’s a brilliant little piece of nature right on our doorstep and another great addition to what is already going to be a packed Sandwich Festival weekend.

If you’ve never explored Gazen Salts before, this is a very good excuse.

Share this with someone looking for something different to do over the Bank Holiday! ❤️

Today we have launched a petition calling on Dover District Council to review its parking restrictions and charges across the district.

Residents, visitors and businesses have raised serious concerns about the current parking strategy, including the new three-hour maximum stay in some car parks, such as Guildhall Car Park in Sandwich.

Our towns need parking policies that support local businesses, encourage visitors to stay longer and help our high streets thrive, not restrictions that risk driving people away.

This matters across the whole district, including Sandwich, Deal, Dover and our surrounding communities.

If you think DDC needs to rethink its approach and deliver a fairer, more balanced parking strategy, please add your name here:

Please share this with anyone who cares about supporting our town centres, tourism and local businesses.
