"Just wanted to thank you for arranging this and giving me the opportunity to visit Rochester Castle free of charge. I have had an enjoyable and educational day. Thank you."
G. Bartlett - Rochester Castle

"Thank you very much for a lovely day out. My son & I had a great time. We both enjoyed knocking down skittles & finding treasure (bricks) with the diggers & I loved driving the huge JCB. We went off roading in a Land Rover & Adrian the driver was very caring towards the children. The food there was good value with an easy serving & seating area. We both had a good day & the staff were friendly & very helpful. Many thanks again."
R. Lee - Diggerland

"The Museum of Canterbury is a great little place to look around, especially when the weather is uncertain. Lots to interest everyone. The children get the Rupert Bear museum, the senior citizens can remember the war and watch news reels of the bombing of Canterbury, the dads can find out about Joseph Conrad and his works, not to mention the information on the Canterbury to Whitstable railway, and the mums can absorb the history and enjoy the Oliver Postgate illustrations, all packaged in a delightful old building. Although I am regularly in Canterbury I had no idea what was here until now. I really enjoyed it."
A. Rutterford - Museum of Canterbury

"Thank you very much, we went to Sissinghurst and had a blast up the top of the tower!"
