Margate Mod & 60s Festival

Great British Music & Culture return to the rejuvenated seaside town of Margate on the Kent coast. The fantastic Westcoast venue houses three areas including a top Live Music & DJ Venue, Restaurant & the Black Cat Club room. Situated opposite the new Turner Arts centre in the heart of the old town surrounded by vintage shops, boutique hotels, family run cafes, restaurants, tea rooms and even an old sweet shop. Other attractions include the UK’s first ever fun fair, Dreamland which has recently reopened for the first time in over a decade. Margate also offers one of the best beaches in Britain and one of the few places you can watch the sun rise and set.

If that wasn’t enough to persuade you to plan a visit to the seaside we have put together a program that will be sure to thrill you over the Whitsun bank holiday weekend.

Over three evening and two daytime events we have put together a stellar program which has two DJ rooms and a fantastic live music set-up. Our daytime events are on the Piazza opposite the Westcoast and seafront with ample parking space for scooters. We will have a stage with live music and open decks DJ sessions, scooter comp, market, food and drinks at special prices for wristband holders. Check back once in a while as we add more to the program.
