The Faversham Society A membership Society celebrating Faversham's long and diverse heritage whilst helping to shape its future

The Faversham Society has evolved from a small group of interested and influential opponents to poorly planned modernisation of Faversham in the early 1960's to a large multi-functional organisation. Its many roles include the collection and preservation of material evidence of Faversham's past; research, and publishing from the wider informational assets in the museum's archives and beyond, whilst also answering enquiries from around the globe; creation of permanent and temporary exhibitions on aspects of Faversham's history whilst also displaying work by local groups and artists; offers a programme of learning activities and opportunities, whilst also supporting educational institutions and groups; provides tourism and accommodation advice and support to the widest audience; maintains a watchful and professional eye on Planning and Development issues in Faversham, commenting where necessary to protect Faversham's unique character and built environment. If you have any queries, please direct them to the Society via our email: [email protected]

For over 15 years, Faversham Society volunteer Mary Ransom has produced our wonderful Calendar. Mary has decided that it is time to pass on the baton, and the 2027 calendar will be her last.

In recognition of her work, the 2027 Calendar features favourite images that have appeared during her time as its producer, and is priced at a mere £6.00 available from the Visitor Information Centre in Market Place.

Thank you Mary for all the hard work involved in producing our ever popular Calendar over the years!

Thank you to everyone who attended last night's launch of the new Faversham Society book "The Invisible Women of Faversham", and huge thanks to all those that read and the beautiful voices of the Faversham Community Choir with their original song.

The Invisible Women of Faversham is now available to purchase from the Visitor Information Centre priced £15.

Have you visited the new exhibition at the Faversham Fleur de Lis Museum ?

Art in the Attic is a collection formed from various historical art pieces created by Faversham and local artists, and is well worth a visit, and why not have a nosey around our fabulous museum whilst you are here!

Open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11am till 3pm and it's FREE entry!

This coming Saturday's Regency Ball will be a wonderful evening of fun, music and dancing, including music and guided instruction in regency ballroom dancing from Dove’s Vagaries, as well as a live musical performance. A selection of delicious canapes will also be provided.

Tickets are £20 for Faversham Society members and £25 for non-members and can be procured either online from our website events page, or in person at the Visitor Information Centre.

We hope lots of our guests choose to enter the spirit of the evening by donning Regency costume, but encourage you to wear whatever finery you will feel most comfortable in. Your presence is more important than your presentation!
