Other People's Photographs Baker Road

A small photography gallery on Baker Road in Folkestone that takes its name literally - it's a space dedicated to showing work by photographers you've never heard of. No big names, no ego, just prints on walls. The exhibition changes regularly, so what's on when you visit depends entirely on timing, but the work tends toward the documentary and contemporary rather than landscape postcards.

It's the sort of place that appeals to people who actually care about photography as a craft rather than those after a quick Instagram moment. If you're into visual art or curious about what local and emerging photographers are doing, it's worth an afternoon wander. Families with young kids will probably find it a bit slow unless they're already interested in photography.

The gallery sits within easy reach of Folkestone itself, which has enough decent cafes and fish and chips shops to make a half-day of it. If you're staying at New Beach Holiday Park or Daleacres Caravan Site - both reasonable drives away - it's a solid rainy-day option that won't eat into your schedule if it doesn't grab you. Port Lympne Safari Park is also nearby if you want something with more obvious appeal for the family.

Best approach is to check ahead online or ring to confirm what's on and whether it's open when you're planning to visit, as independent galleries can be a bit unpredictable with hours. Free entry, probably, though donations are always welcome at places like this.
