Ramsgate Welcomes you back! Let’s have some fun in 2021!
Nice Things - Suzy - Credit Cémanthe Mckenzie-Hoult Ramsgate is giddy with excitement and springing into life from today (12th April) with most of our businesses opening their doors for the first time this year! It’s been a long old winter and we can’t wait to welcome back residents and visitors to our lovely town! I wanted to give a shout out to all our fabulous businesses and wish them the very best of luck for this season and beyond and let’s hope they never have to lockdown their premises again!

Ramsgate to Pegwell Nature Walk
Join Keith Ross wildlife filmmaker on a six mile Nature Walk from Ramsgate Westcliff to Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve. The walk will run from May till September ( This walk can be done at any time of year but the wildlife will vary with the seasons ) with the aim of seeing a wide variety of wildlife including the worlds fastest bird the Peregrine Falcon, migrating Cuckoo & Nightingale and views of basking Common Seals & waders in the Bay. It won't be just birds though as we'd expect to see Lizard, Butterfly and Dragonfly. Like any nature walk nothing [...]
Happy 2021!
I am trying to stay positive even if the New Year has started in much the same way as the last one ended, which I think you’ll agree is miserably! Whilst we all languish in lockdown III, what is there to be positive about I ask myself? Well, living in Ramsgate is certainly a bonus and one of my reasons to feel happy! We have so many beautiful walking and cycling trails giving us the opportunity to enjoy our coastline, explore some of our architecture or learn more about our local history with around 20 trails to choose from.

Ramsgate is essentially a town that loves visitors but also relies heavily on residents to support businesses. Unusually for a coastal town, restaurants and shops enjoy all-year-round trade here and we hope that this year, despite all the challenges many of our local businesses have faced, they can continue to be supported by our lovely locals, [...]
Launching our Virtual Shopping Campaign
As we find ourselves in the midst of another lockdown with a distinct possibility of it being extended, I wanted to spread the word about many of our Ramsgate business owners who are offering a virtual service during this period of uncertainty. I am sure I don’t need to tell you about the benefits of shopping locally and how much it helps our economy and I think this is more important now than it ever has been. Some of our ‘non-essential’ businesses have developed online shops through websites, others are using facebook or instagram to promote their wares and are [...]
