The Harbour Arm is Folkestone's most distinctive destination — street food, bars, Channel views, and Triennial art.
Folkestone Harbour and the Folkestone Harbour Arm are the most visited destinations in the town. The Victorian harbour arm has been transformed into an award-winning open-air destination with street food vendors, a bar in a converted train carriage, live events, and panoramic views across the English Channel.
The harbour area includes the Folkestone Harbour railway station — a historic station terminus used by boat trains in the age of steam — which now forms part of the wider heritage experience. The fish market still operates in the lower harbour area, and fresh catch is available directly from local fishermen.
The Harbour Arm opens seasonally and hosts markets, art installations connected to the Folkestone Triennial, and regular music events in summer. It is one of the most photographed spots on the Kent coast.
The Creative Quarter's Old High Street descends steeply to the harbour, and the two areas combine to form Folkestone's most distinctive visitor destination.
