Folkestone’s unofficial guide to what’s going on.
Join a guided walking tour of the Bayle—Folkestone’s ancient quarter—exploring its winding lanes, buildings, boundaries and hidden corners, and how geology, landscape and people shaped the town over centuries. Led by local historian and geologist Steve Friedrich, this relaxed walk covers themes including settlement, defence, worship, trade, monastic life, maritime industry and Victorian expansion, with time for questions along the way. Meet inside the Parish Church of St Mary & St Eanswythe (look for the Heritage Open Days stand). On-the-day contact: Vicky Friedrich (07547 183441).
