The Faversham Society A membership Society celebrating Faversham's long and diverse heritage whilst helping to shape its future

The Faversham Society has evolved from a small group of interested and influential opponents to poorly planned modernisation of Faversham in the early 1960's to a large multi-functional organisation. Its many roles include the collection and preservation of material evidence of Faversham's past; research, and publishing from the wider informational assets in the museum's archives and beyond, whilst also answering enquiries from around the globe; creation of permanent and temporary exhibitions on aspects of Faversham's history whilst also displaying work by local groups and artists; offers a programme of learning activities and opportunities, whilst also supporting educational institutions and groups; provides tourism and accommodation advice and support to the widest audience; maintains a watchful and professional eye on Planning and Development issues in Faversham, commenting where necessary to protect Faversham's unique character and built environment. If you have any queries, please direct them to the Society via our email: [email protected]

This coming Saturday's Regency Ball will be a wonderful evening of fun, music and dancing, including music and guided instruction in regency ballroom dancing from Dove’s Vagaries, as well as a live musical performance. A selection of delicious canapes will also be provided.

Tickets are £20 for Faversham Society members and £25 for non-members and can be procured either online from our website events page, or in person at the Visitor Information Centre.

We hope lots of our guests choose to enter the spirit of the evening by donning Regency costume, but encourage you to wear whatever finery you will feel most comfortable in. Your presence is more important than your presentation!

The end of October sees the close of our Saturday morning 'Walking with History' guided walks season - and luckily for us, there are five Saturdays in October this year - a relatively unusual occurrance! So don't let these final opportunities to join us pass you by.

And - this Saturday's weather is looking perfect!
