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]

Please note this page is not monitored 24/7 so any messages or enquires sent by direct message may take longer to respond to.
