Independent Businesses
in Folkestone

Folkestone's Creative Quarter — a grid of Victorian streets in the lower town — has become one of the more original independent retail and creative districts in Kent. The town's arts-led regeneration, driven by the Folkestone Triennial arts festival, has brought artists' studios, independent restaurants, and sustainable food businesses in significant numbers. The Creative Quarter has a strong concentration of dog-friendly cafés and vegan-friendly independent restaurants. The harbour arm development has added further independent food and drink options in one of Kent's most striking waterfront settings.
