Places To Shop
Kate’s Collection
Kate’s Collection stocks an eclectic mix of clothing
aimed at stylish women of all ages. There is a selection
of gorgeous and unusual designs for smart casual
wear or special occasions. Kate only buys from small
designers and ateliers from all around the globe and
because of this exclusivity, the production quantities
are very small, so you won’t find these wonderful
clothes on the high street. The shop is currently
selling high summer collections and the autumn
collections will be arriving in August.
Entre Nous
Entre Nous has been established in Westerham for
14 years. The business has grown mainly due to
personal recommendations – customers are made
to feel comfortable in a relaxed and friendly
atmosphere, and the shop appreciates discretion and
ST MARY THE VIRGIN CHURCH
understanding in this very personal matter. Entre
Nous are expanding their Elomi range to offer
beautiful lingerie up to a J cup; 80 per cent of women
in the UK are wearing the incorrect bra size
compromising their shape, support and potentially
their health. When it comes to finding the perfect
fitting bra, there are lots of factors to consider which
is why Entre Nous is here for you.
Manuka Shoes
Manuka Shoes is an independent ladies’ shoe
boutique, established in 2004. They stock fabulous
boots, shoes, handbags and scarves from across
Europe that will complete your look. They work
with small family factories and many designs in stock
are unique to Manuka Shoes, so you won't find them
anywhere else on the high street. The shop is a
friendly and relaxed place to buy beautiful shoes,
boots, sandals and slippers in the lovely market town
of Westerham.

Annual Events
Westerham Rocks // June
So well loved is the town of Westerham that it even
has its own music festival which takes place at the
end of June each year. Known as Westerham Rocks,
a number of excellent tribute bands and new acts
come to the town over two nights to play great music.
Westerham Memory Walk // May
Organised by the town council, the annual
Westerham Memory Walk is a charity walk in aid
of dementia. Anyone can take part and the route is
a circular one starting on the green, heading past
the church and then around the playing fields before
coming back to the start. Money raised goes towards
the local memory café.
Top Spot
Westerham’s high str eet has everything that
anyone could need. From the lovely church – St
Mary The Virgin – at one end, to the town’s Co-op
at the other, whatever you need can be found here.
Restaurants, cafés, clothing stores, a Post Office,
takeaways, banks, pubs and much more are all lined
up along the main road. Park in the main town car
park (free for the first three hours) and take a wander.
Did You Know?
In 1967, The Beatles were filming the music
video to their songs “Strawberry Fields
Forever” and “Penny Lane” in Knole Park
in nearby Sevenoaks. John Lennon visited
Westerham and found, in one of the wonderful
antiques shops, a poster depicting Pablo
Fanque’s Circus Royal. He bought the poster
and used it as his inspiration for “Being For
The Benefit Of Mr Kite”.
