We popped in for a cuppa after a stroll along the beach polite and friendly staff. We enjoyed our coffee and the view from the cafe is lovely.

We visited the Kings Hall on a sunny Sunday afternoon with our grandchildren to see the Titanic ‘Honour & Glory’ exhibition. We had travelled here by car and there is a good amount of (pay & display) parking along the seafront and also street parking close by if you can find a space. Herne Bay railway station is just over a mile away if you walk. This review will concentrate on the venue, its facilities and the overall visitor experience as opposed to the content of the exhibition itself. The Kings hall is located on Herne Bay seafront to the east of the main beach area and cut into the banked area of ground sloping down to the sea. It is a lovely turn of the (20th) century Edwardian brick built structure with some elegant metal uprights supporting a surrounding canopy. It has an open concrete amphitheatre area above the hall with a small stage. Below this is the hall itself and what appeared to be public toilets were open available to the right hand side. Outside, the hall had a facility selling hot & cold drinks and snacks and seating with tables which was well patronised on the day of our visit. Entrance to the hall is via a foyer and this had an opening for selling refreshments as you entered, though this was not in use for our visit, potential customers being asked to use the outside facility. The main auditorium is large enough to accommodate an exhibition such as the ‘Honour & Glory’ one and there was plenty of room to move freely around the various exhibits and get a good view. At one end was a stage and this was being used to show occasional audio / video enhancement to the static exhibits. Having been delayed from earlier in the year and still subject to some Covid 19 restrictions, access to the hall was by means of timed slots though there was no restriction in place as to how long you could spend in the exhibition. The few members of staff that we came into contact with were friendly and helpful enough.
