Other People's Photographs Dyke Road

A small independent gallery tucked away on Dyke Road near Folkestone, Other People's Photographs does exactly what it says on the tin - it showcases work from photographers beyond the usual gallery circuit. The space itself is intimate, the kind of place where you'll spend thirty minutes tops unless you're genuinely into contemporary photography. Work rotates regularly, so there's a reason to come back if you're staying in the area.

It's best suited to photography enthusiasts and anyone keen on supporting local creative spaces. Families with restless kids will find it a bit dry - there's no interactive element, just photographs on walls and probably a small desk with a tea-stained mug. Admission details are thin on the ground online, so ring ahead or check when you're passing through Folkestone proper.

The real draw is location. If you're based at Varne Ridge or Black Horse Farm - both solid caravan parks within a couple of miles - you can slot this into a morning while exploring Folkestone's seafront properly. Or it works as a rainy afternoon stop if you're at Hawthorne Trench and the weather turns. Don't plan your whole trip around it, but if you're interested in photography and want to support independent galleries, it's worth the short drive from your holiday base.
