DISCOVER A HIDDEN WORLD OF ADVENTURE
ON THE KENT COAST
QUEX PARK IS KENT'S MOST EXCITING DAY OUT FOR ALL THE FAMILY.
LOCATED 15 MINUTES WEST OF MARGATE, ESCAPE THE STRESSES OF EVERYDAY
LIFE AND BE ENCHANTED BY THIS 'MUST VISIT' DESTINATION.
Established by John Powell-Powell, Quex Park
is a historic country estate but like many
traditional estates, it has diversified its many
redundant and outdated agricultural buildings
but has retained its beautiful Victorian
splendour.
The Park is now the proud home to many
visitor attractions, leisure activities, bespoke
retail and food & drink outlets as well as
offering a packed and exciting annual events
calendar with something for the whole family
to enjoy.
Quex Park is best known for the award-
winning Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex
House and Gardens, which offers an exciting,
fun and interactive day out. You will find
amazing collections, natural history galleries,
a vast array of art and archaeology, one of the
most impressive dioramas in Europe as well
as being able to get your hands on in The
Cube, where you can handle over 400 objects.
Relax with a stroll around the beautiful
gardens of Quex House, the Secret Garden
Centre or Quex Craft Village before enjoying
a scrumptious afternoon tea at Mamma
Feelgoods café. Then stock up with the
finest locally produced food and drink from
Quex Barn.

This attraction is an all-weather, all-family,
all-encompassing day out, with a unique
community of local leisure businesses
brought together on a country estate where
you can make everlasting memories each
time you visit.
