Are you looking for a new venue or planning a holiday in the South East of England?
Why not add Blue Town Heritage Centre to you itinerary?
We have direct access from the M2 & M20 to the A249 onto the Isle of Sheppey, the island that has masses of history.
Important visitors to the island have included:
Henry VIII and his bride Anne Boleyn spent their honeymoon at Shurland Hall, Samuel Pepys ordered the construction of a naval dockyard at Sheerness as an extension to that already at Chatham and Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson who had several links to the island, even after his death.
Why not add your group to the distinguished list of visitors?
Have a coffee in our tea bar when you arrive, view the volume of artefacts donated by many residents and visitors, then let the director of the centre take your group for a guided walk of the area. Return for a light lunch or a cream tea.
There is free parking along the dockyard wall and there is room for any size coach to park.
Pre-booking for large groups is required and prices for group bookings are available on request.
For more information or to book, telephone 01795 662981.
