Staying at the Falstaff Hotel was a joy with good a disabled access room and in easy walking distance of the main town and many important sights such as the Cathedral. Unfortunately because my wife has problems with stairs our visit to both the Cathedral and the Roman Museum were spoilt because the lifts didn't work. There are many coffee shops and restaurants in the town and many pleasant walks of interest including along the river. Also coming from West London driving was a nightmare - take the train. Parking in town is in short supply and expensive.

A brilliant couple of hours with 2 small children. We did the Bagpuss trail which was perfect for our 7 year old and well worth the £5 free (especially since the museum itself is completely free). For younger ones, there was an activity in every room to keep them occupied; a dollhouse, wooden blocks, drawing, kaleidoscopes and dressing up. My 3 year old was well entertained whilst we read the exhibit information. An excellent couple of hours.

I was attracted to the architecture of the house. Dating back to 1899, it is a stunning Tudor Revival building with half-timbering and Gothic Revival window decorations. The interior and floors are also exquisite and beautiful. It is currently a library and museum, displaying its collection of paintings, ceramics, jewelry and antiques.

What a brilliant place! I loved the Smallfilms Gallery with its detailed exhibition on the work of Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate. The other exhibits were really interesting and covered a wide range, so although we were only there about 2 hours, we really felt it was one of the best attractions in the town.

Part of this museum’s exhibits were a walk through my childhood. Really thoughtfully laid out. The museum has lovely paintings and great exhibitions. There appeared to be plenty to entertain younger visitors too. A great free venue. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were lucky to witness a cheeky student get her violin out and play, she was taking advantage of the acoustics within the room.

A truly wonderful place. I went to look at the Bagpuss Exhibition and discovered much more. Staff were friendly and there were signs all over encouraging the taking of photos. I arrived just before 4pm and it was quite busy but not packed. The galleries had something for everyone including bits for children such as dressing up and a few toys. No cafe but plenty of reasonable places surrounding it.

Baby ryhme time with Steve I liked the songs and the puppets that Steve used. It was a relaxed atmosphere. Two things to improve the experience for me would be: Steve started singing in a key that was either too low or too high for the female care givers' vocal range. Also the tempo was so fast, I barely had to time catch my breath before the next line of the nursery ryhme. Please go a bit slower! His energy was great though.

We came in out of the rain for a look around. There is a very interesting temporary exhibition on the ground floor. We then went upstairs to look at the Clangers in particular but also the general glass exhibition cases and especially the picture gallery which was super apart from some children playing very noisily with wooden building blocks.

Excellent free museum in the heart of Canterbury. It was a decent size and contained everything from a good collection of paintings, through taxidermy birds to celebrations of local people, such as Oliver Postgate, creator of Bagpuss and the Clangers. There were several interactive displays and lots to occupy children.

Nice little local museum. Really enjoyed the exhibition on children's tv, took me right back to my childhood, especially the Pogles Wood puppets as I'd never seen them in colour before. Some nice art featuring Canterbury.
