MACKNADES

And QUEX HOUSE - POWELL COTTON MUSEUM

We start the day with a coffee stop and visit to Macknades Foodhall in Faversham. 

Then on to the Powell-Cotton Museum one of the Kent’s most distinctive museums, featuring incredible natural history displays of animals from the African and Asian continents in world-famous dioramas. There are also fascinating displays of world-culture objects as well as local archaeology.

We will enjoy a free flow visit of the Grade II listed Quex House, formerly home to the Powell-Cotton family. The interior of the house is uniquely decorated with ornamental furniture, art and a beautiful library.

You can also wander Quex Gardens set in seven acres and feature sweeping lawns, herbaceous borders, exotic trees, a woodland walk, and a historic walled kitchen garden.
