Greetings!
Since our last update in March, bookings from local artists,
designers and producers from across Kent have been flying in
thick and fast. We plan to be on site from next week to start
preparing the South Quay for the grand opening week-end on
the 5th May.
Work will start on the fishermans hut facade and turning the
industrial portacabins into funky local trading zones.
With the May schedule booking up fast, we are now taking
bookings for June and July, including the Oyster Festival week
at the end of July. Book early because some have booked this
ahead to guarantee their place during the busiest week of the
year.

| Full House Expected for Grand Opening |
| |
Many thanks to those of you that have already booked in for
the grand opening week-end and for the rest of May. Thanks to
the press coverage, we are expecting a full house for all
three days of the opening week-end and we are planning some
live music and a major publicity campaign to start things with a
bang.
There are only a few spaces left now for the opening week-
end but still plenty of availability for the other week-ends in
May, including the second bank holiday at the end of May
which should be a very busy week-end for visitors.
There will be a really exciting mix of art, produce, and design
from across the county. The list of those already booked in and
confirmed as of today is as follows:
Godmersham Game,
Core Juice,
Tim Slatter Etchings,
Bekka Be,
Whitstable Lavender Company,
Jerry Vaughan Photography,

Having dealt with hundreds of telephone enquiries over recent
weeks here are some facts we obviously did not make clear
enough from the start.
The location of South Quay is in the heart of Whitstable
Harbour located between the fish market and the Harbour
Masters Office. See the photo above.
The Market opens on 5 May but will be open every week-end
until Christmas and during the week at peak times such as
school holidays and the Oyster Festival.
The existing portacabins will form an internal market with mini-
gallery spaces for artists, a food and produce zone and a retail
and design shop. Outside will be a conventional market area
next to the fishing boats.
