I had the chance to go to Margate
yesterday. We took a group of young people from work for an away day and so I was pretty happy with myself - killing two birds with one stone - what with a
new work opportunity and a trip to Turner Contemporary. Win. Win.
Margate has piqued my curiosity for a while
now – it’s Tracey Emin’s hometown and despite recently being named one of the
most deprived seaside towns in the UK, is home to a major contemporary arts
museum that recently welcomed it’s millionth visitor since opening in 2011. It
also has an old town that’s becoming increasingly well known for its vintage
and antique furniture shops. You can see the appeal, no?
