Pictured left is a sunny day at one of Cindy Mainwaring’s monthly brocantes held inside and outside St Mary’s Hall in Whitstable, with the next on Saturday, July 15.
In this ever-more popular north Kent town you can practise your shucking techniques at the annual oyster festival which attracts thousands – see below. Mainwaring’s brocantes sell plenty of vintage pieces and sometimes oyster-related ceramics and silverware.
