Whitstable Community Museum Group

Whitstable Community Museum Group A community charity that operates Whitstable Museum on behalf of Canterbury City Council.

In 2014, local community groups including the Whitstable & District Chamber of Commerce, The Whitstable Society, The WIT, The Friends of Whitstable Museum, Whitstable Historical Society, The Favourite Trust and the Crab & Winkle Trust set up a new charity to manage Whitstable Museum on behalf of Canterbury City Council. The Museum is run on a volunteer basis and the success of this project will be dependent on a great deal of public support.
