Lydd Town Museum — Attraction in Folkestone and Hythe District

What a lovely hidden little gem this is! My husband and I took 3 of our boys aged 11, 13 and 16 for a look around today and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As we walked in we were greeted by a lovely bunch of volunteers, and one of them called Michel took the time to show us around. He was so friendly and informative and really knew his stuff! He went through each room and talked to us about the items there and let my younger two take the opportunity to sit on the bus and coach and have some photos taken. It would have been a lovely visit anyway, but having Michel as a 'tour-guide' really made it special so a big shout out to him! The museum is run by volunteers and entrance is free, but you can leave a cash donation in the collection boxes or there is a QR code you can scan which takes you to their donation page. I really would recommend leaving a donation, it's a really worthy cause run by amazing volunteers!❤️ Thanks...

If you have had any family from this area or generally interested in the history of this tiny town, go visit this museum! My grandparents, father and uncles and aunts were raised here and we wanted to visit this town. This was the highlight, the volunteers were lovely and helped us find photos of our family. So much in there and so...

A wonderful insight of Lydd's past with very helpful volunteers. (Donations accepted gladly). Those born in Lydd will enjoy the nostalgia whilst others will be fascinated by the many artefacts on display including a horse drawn bus and Landau (used for the Lydd Day Queen). Look out for the shingle cart. Thank you for the interesting...
