Watch fresh whipping cream fudge made in store to an authentic 1800's recipe using original hand craft methods and try a free sample hot off the marble slab. Vegetarian and dairy intolerant/vegan friendly flavours available.
This is the best fudge I have ever eaten! Soft and gooey inside. I bought the salted caramel - amazing. The owners are very friendly and give great recommendations of flavours. Wish I lived closer!

Having visited Canterbury Cathedral the previous day, our visit to St Augustine's didn't disappoint and improved our understanding of the historical events which took place in Canterbury. The site was much larger than expected, with a museum and plenty of information boards as we walked round the ruins. We were able to download an audio guide via a QR Code reader on our smartphone, which provided further information.

The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge is an Art Gallery, Library and Visitor Information Centre situated in the heart of historic Canterbury. This award winning facility provides state-of-the-art exhibition galleries, excellent educational facilities and a varied programme of events for all ages. The building takes its name from its benefactor, Dr James George Beaney, a Canterbury-born man of modest background who studied medicine before emigrating to Australia, where he found his success. Upon his death in 1891, Dr Beaney left money in his will to the city of Canterbury to build an ‘Institute for Working Men’ with amenities for men from poor backgrounds such as his own. His patronage was fundamental in building the Beaney Institute: a new home for the Canterbury Royal Museum and Free Library, now known as The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge. A cultural hub in East Kent, praised for its welcoming atmosphere, providing a range of services under one roof, uniting art, heritage, books, ideas, information and collections. Whether you are a frequent Library user, a teacher on a Schools Workshop, a parent enjoying the perfect cup of coffee in our Cafe or an inquisitive explorer studying our treasures from the Ancient worlds; The Beaney is a building for everyone.
We popped in on a day visit to Canterbury. Fascinating place with lots of articles related to local people which ranged from art, victorian taxidermy to peoples personal collections of artifacts. All fascinating. It is great to see a local museum with free entry.
