What's On
We have lots of exciting events and activities coming to the Caves! Find out what’s happening underground.
SMALL WONDERS
Until 1 Nov, 10-5
Our first open submission small works show on the theme of science and the natural world. Featuring more than 100 small works by 57 artists from across the UK and Europe.
All works are for sale (with proceeds supporting Margate Caves).
The exhibition appears in the Margaret Bryan Gallery, a space named after one of Britain’s pioneering women in science education, who lived on the Caves site in the 18th Century. Margaret ran a boarding school here for young women, teaching astronomy and the sciences, a radical pursuit at the time. Our gallery will continue in the spirit of providing inspiration in an accessible space.
CHRISTMAS IN OZ
28 Nov - 23 Dec
There’s no place like the Margate Caves at Christmas! This year, we’re off to see the Wizard as the Caves are transformed into the magical Land of Oz.
Venture deep underground and journey somewhere over the rainbow, encountering Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, enchanted apple trees, a spectacular poppy field and a glimpse of the Emerald City.
Then listen out for the bell as our Chief Elf calls you for a private visit with Father Christmas in his Cosy Cave, where every child will receive a special Christmas gift.
Back above ground, follow the Yellow Brick Road to our Oz photo point, enjoy festive treats and Christmas shopping, then get creative with the elves in Auntie Em’s Craft Room.
Child tickets are £17.95, with up to two accompanying adults FREE with each family/group booking. Advance booking is essential – book online here via Eventbrite.
