Natalie Bennett Art

You'll find Natalie Bennett's gallery tucked away near Ashford, and it's the sort of place that rewards a bit of curiosity. The work on display tends to be contemporary - nothing stuffy or overly institutional. It's a proper working space rather than a grand institution, which means the atmosphere feels genuine and unforced.

The gallery appeals most to people who actually care about art rather than those just ticking off attractions. If you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Broadhembury or Dunn Street Farm are both within a few miles - it's a decent reason to get off-site for an afternoon. You're not looking at a full day's outing here; an hour or so will see you through, depending on how much the work grabs you.

Bring the kids only if they're genuinely interested in contemporary art. Otherwise they'll be bored within twenty minutes. For walkers based at Longberry Farm Glamping, it could slot nicely into a morning before heading out on a longer route around the Kent countryside.

Before you go, it's worth ringing ahead - opening hours aren't widely advertised, and you'll want to check admission costs. Ashford itself is just down the road if you need to grab lunch or provisions afterward. It's not a destination in itself, but if you're in the area for a caravan holiday, it's worth knowing about.
