Arrr! Piratey adventure from Folkestone Harbour this weekend

May312006

Me and the wife are going on this!

The Grand Turk set to sail from Folkestone Harbour!

The Grand Turk is probably best-known in Britain for her role in the 'Hornblower' and other films and television series. The ship has been a regular visitor to ports in Kent in the past, but this visit to Folkestone will offer one of very few occasions when people can get frist-hand experience by going out ot sea aboard this replica of am eighteenth century Royal Navy frigate.

A choice of morning or afternoon sailings will be offered on each of three days, Morning sailings will depart at 10:30 and afternoon sailings will depart at 2:30

Ticket prices for a three hour trip from Folkestone Harbour will be £45.00 for adults and £25.00 for children, or £120.00 for a family ticket family (2adults and 2children), and must be booked in advance through the Folkestone Visitor Centre on tel: 01303 258594 or email discoverfolkestone@btconnect.com

UPDATE: Don't email, they can't do anything online. You must collect the tickets from the visitor centre between 10am and 5pm today or Saturday (and I suspect they close for lunch) but they were very helpful to me and dropped them round my house because I couldn't make it, bless!

Looking forward to this a lot.

But it's a fascinating ship, and good to see Folkestone and Dover from another angle. Great weather too.

Update: we were [em]not[/em] under full sail, had the engines running the whole time, my bad typo...

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
