Did you know Tenterden is packed with history? 🏛️

Next time you’re strolling through the town, keep your eyes peeled for the blue plaques along the High Street - each one marks a fascinating moment in Tenterden’s past, from remarkable local figures to incredible events.

And the stories don’t stop at the plaques! So many of our buildings have equally rich histories just waiting to be discovered.

The best way to explore? Pick up a copy of the Tenterden Heritage Trail Leaflet - available at the Tenterden & District Museum or the Tenterden Gateway: Tourist Information & Library. You can also download the map via tour Explore tenterden website 🗺️

Alternatively, if you fancy an informative guided tour you can also check for the next available date with the Tenterden & District History Society - also found on our website which is linked in our bio.

Tenterden really is a town full of rich history with stories on every corner - go and explore! 🌿

🦔 Have you claimed your FREE hedgehog gravel board yet?

Back at the beginning of the month we shared the news about our free hedgehog friendly gravel boards - and if you haven’t claimed yours yet here’s your reminder!

Up to 100 boards are available, one per household, completely free. The board slots beneath your fence panel and creates a small gap - a hedgehog highway - allowing our prickly neighbours to move safely between gardens across Tenterden.

In partnership with construction students from who have designed the posters, made the boards and boxes, this project is very much a community effort - and every garden that joins makes a real difference.

With UK hedgehog numbers down by more than 30% since 2002, it takes minutes to get involved and the impact adds up. Anyone who takes part and creates a hedgehog hole highway will be asked to register their details and record their hedgehog sightings.

Head to the link in our bio to register your interest before they’re gone!

Thinking about visiting the charming town of Tenterden? Read on!

Nestled in the heart of the High Weald, Tenterden is one of Kent’s most beloved market towns and once you’ve been, you’ll understand why.

From the iconic St Mildred’s Church just off the high street, to the rolling Kent vineyards on it’s doorstep, the Kent & Sussex steam railway, independent shops, cosy cafés and some of the best countryside in the South East, there’s so many reasons people keep coming back.

Tenterden is a town with real character, a proud community and more to discover than you’d ever expect.

Come for the day or make a stay of it - there’s no shortage of brilliant places to rest your head.

Contractors will be handing the Town Hall back to the Town Council in early June, marking a major milestone in the project. Throughout June, we’ll be busy getting everything ready—completing health & safety checks, moving staff back in, and restoring fixtures and furnishings. There’s a lot to do, but the building is looking absolutely fabulous!

The Town Hall will reopen to the public for general enquiries and day-to-day access this summer. A programme of reopening events will follow, giving residents and visitors the opportunity to experience the renewed Town Hall and celebrate its return to the heart of our community. 🏛️✨
