Faversham Life
Faversham Life
Faversham Life is an online magazine giving an insider’s view of this ancient Kentish market town.
With a new feature published each Friday, we will uncover fascinating Faversham people, profile shops and businesses, review its restaurants, reveal hidden gardens, explore Faversham’s architecture and culture, give recipes using locally-produced food and feature anything else that enthralls and excites us.
Faversham Life was launched in September 2016. It was the creation of writers Sarah Langton-Lockton, Amicia de Moubray and Posy Gentles, and photographer Lisa Valder. On its fourth anniversary, Sarah Langton-Lockton stepped aside and writer Justin Croft joined us. All the views we express will be personal, possibly whimsical, sometimes controversial, but always passionate and curious about Faversham.
We want to share this passion and curiosity with you, so please subscribe online to receive Faversham Life each Friday absolutely free.
We will not accept advertising or paid-for content.
