Activities, entertainments and services
Although the town of Broadstairs offers many interesting things to see and do, at Buckmaster House we also provide a wide range of in-house entertainment and a number of summer excursions for our residents.

Whilst we're in close proximity to the main town, residents can also benefit from regular visits by a hairdresser and the mobile library service. The services of a chiropodist are also available, and doctors call when required.

The town of Broadstairs hosts a number of festivals and events throughout the summer months in particular.
June sees the annual week-long Dickens' Festival, which celebrates the town's connection with famous novelist. Victorian costume abounds, with young and old recreating a bygone era on the town's streets and promenades, whilst plays, recitals and talks take place in numous local venues.

Another famous Broadstairs' annual festival is Folk Week, which takes place every August. The town comes alive to the sights and sounds of over 500 different events from around the world as well as a huge international Craft Fair.

August also sees the town's Carnival procession as well as the annual Water Gala - now over 100 years old, and running even longer than Buckmaster!
