Other People's Photographs Ormonde Road

A modest gallery on Ormonde Road in Folkestone that takes photography seriously without the pretension. Other People's Photographs is exactly what it says - a space devoted to work by emerging and established photographers, and it's the sort of place that rewards a proper look rather than a quick wander through.

The gallery rotates exhibitions regularly, so what you'll see depends entirely on when you visit. There's no fixed collection to speak of - it's all about whatever photographer or theme the curator has chosen that season. This keeps things fresh, though it also means checking ahead before you make the journey is wise. The intimate scale works in its favour. You're not trudging through vast white rooms; instead it feels more like stepping into someone's serious project rather than a major institution.

Photography enthusiasts will get the most from this. If you're staying at Varne Ridge Holiday Park just two miles away, or bunking down at Black Horse Farm a touch further out, it's an easy detour on a quieter day in Folkestone. Worth an hour at most, though you might linger longer if the current show grabs you.

Folkestone itself has enough going on - the harbour, the seafront - that you wouldn't be wasting a trip building it into your plans. But as a supplement to a park holiday in the area, particularly if someone in the group fancies themselves a bit of a photographer, it's worth a look. Just ring ahead or check their social media first to see what's on and confirm opening times.
