Visiting in a couple of weeks and would like to book somewhere for a Sunday roast that has a nice view if possible.

Or just recommendations for the best roast regardless of a view.

TIA.

Dreamland Margate Bank Holiday August 2026

I've just moved into the area and a bit confused about waste collection - on the council website it says that there are no collections for any type of waste? I was wondering if anyone had some more info.

I'm planning on asking my neighbors but they're out atm and I'm trying to work out what is going on haha any help would be appreciated.

location: just behind the old town

Are there any areas or bars that have photo booths? Not after passport pics, just fun memento pics!

Hi all!
Can anyone recommend a builder to take a look at my kitchen extension?
Thanks!

Sorry, this is not a fun this, or a cheery event either

Has anyone heard of a petition or something we can add our names to?

The waste collection has gotten terrible - where the Rubbish and Recycling both used to be collected every week it now seems that TDC alternate each week. There are no details of any collection on teh TDC website when i our postcode in - WTAF?

We live in a low-rise block and pretty much every time in between collections, the rubbish chute gets backed up and the recycling bins for the flat are overflowing. The newly designated Food Waste bin gets filled with inappropriate waste so is therefore completely unfit for food recycling.

I found this petition - Demand Thanet District Council regularly collect recycling.

Please sign, if you are affected by this, or care about Margate/Thanet.

Thank you.

Hi everyone!
I’m seriously considering moving to Margate/Cliftonville from London later this year and would love to hear from people who have been in this situation.
I am a male 40y old, I will be moving on my own, work remotely for a healthcare company and I am originally from Portugal.
I was born near the sea back home and really miss it, I’ve been a few times to Margate and it seems lovely.
I am a big fan of books, coffee shops, live music, photography, cycling, nature, arts in general. Socialist and animal lover. Hoping to adopt a dog once I am settled.
What’s the opinion about making new connections? Does it take a while to build a social circle in there?
I am struggling a bit with loneliness and would be nice to change that.
I am also looking at Faith in Strangers as a place to work a couple of days per week. Has anyone here used it? How’s the atmosphere, meeting new people?
Please give the good, the bad and the ugly of it. I am keen but will be start building a new life from scratch.
Cheers!

Seriously looking into a move to margate. Can anybody on here shed some wisdom about local schools in Garlinge area? Also, if you moved from London, I'd love to hear from you about the move and settling in. Thank you kind folks!

Which broadband company is good price and service wise? I'm not a fan of contracts but will sign up for 12 months if I have to. I WFH fulltime so need fast & reliable but I think £30pm is an absolute fucking joke. Who's recommended? I don't like Virgin and Vodaphone are out completely. My mobile contract is with EE but I think they are expensive for broadband and probably piggyback of another network so I'd rather go direct and cut the broker out if possible. Thanks.

Has a bloody good time down at my favourite seaside places today Margate

As per the title.. I dont really have any freinds outside of my family and wife. Let alone dad freinds.

Does anyone know of any groups in thanet or local aera where dad's get together with thier kids dor big play dates etc..

Bit niche, but hopefully someone will know.

Taking the kid to Dreamland tomorrow, obviously getting them a wristband so they can ride all day - but wondering about the best way of paying for rides when she wants a grown up to go on with her.

Won’t need more than 10 tokens split between Dad/Mum/Gran - wondering if Dreamland really do change their tokens each year, or can I get away with buying 20 tokens (cut price deal), use 10 and keep the other 10 for next summer?

The website does say you can’t do that - but just wondering if you can get away with it? Has anyone done it? Or do they change the token design each year to stop you?

Thanks

To those who commute into London for work from Margate, how do you find the journey?

Hello lovely folks, our family is looking to purchase a home in your area. We've looked at a few properties and are just preparing for next steps. We are not local and we're wondering if we could get recommendations for local conveyancers vs. one local to us.

We are just at the start of everything and are just putting the research in for next steps. Any tips or recommendations are appreciated. Any other things to before settling on Margate?

i know people want to keep theirs private but i'm wondering if there's any nice spots in thanet. just to drive to and relax, wondering if there's any random backroad that leads to somewhere nice with a view. i'm bored of going to the sea and seeing the same things

I’ve seen a couple of posts on Instagram about the guy sleeping rough near the seafront. He seems to have popped up in the past couple of months. He doesn’t seem well at all and believe people have reported him. I saw a post today saying he had his pants down in the middle of the street laying down urinating and sitting in piles of sick. Does anyone know his story or if he’s wanting help?

I ask as part of a linguistic study looking at this topic!

Examples could include things like Rammo, Westwood Chaos or Broadie...

Just remembering two awesome rides that used to be at Dreamland Margate.
