Faversham Fleur De Lis Museum

The Fleur De Lis Museum in Faversham is a small local museum with a surprisingly full story to tell, covering the town from Roman times to the present day. It sounds like the sort of place you pop into for half an hour and end up staying much longer, mostly because there’s so much to poke, press and try. For families, the real win is how interactive it is. Reviewers rave about the working telephone exchange, telephones and typewriters, plus a family activity room with books and crafts. The volunteers are repeatedly mentioned as warm, patient and genuinely good with children, which makes a huge difference when you’re trying to keep everyone interested and reasonably civil. The main caveat is that it’s not a big attraction, so don’t expect a full day out. There’s no review evidence of a café, and seating details are unknown. It’s free, which is always a pleasing sentence to read, but you’ll probably want to pair it with a wander around Faversham if you’re making a proper outing of it.
