LGBTQIA Places in Canterbury

Hi, everyone. Recently moved not far from the town centre, and I'm really loving the area, it's a very different feeling from where I've come from (the north)!

I was wondering what venues and businesses are around that are LGBTQ+ focused, bars, clubs, etc. as I'm not only interested in visiting but also working in them, as I've previous experience in such a venue.

I figure there are spaces that are inclusive to such (most places are now) but I'm curious to know if anywhere is specifically queer-orienting.

Thanks!

If you know where I can get a second hand cello and lesson for a beginner, it would be great helpful for me. Thank you :)

Have you got your Christmas turkey yet?

If not, then there is still time. Buy local from a young farmer just outside Faversham.

Need some advice for university exchange here!

Hello! I'm heading off to Uni of Kent for a semester exchange in a few months, and it would be appreciated if any of you could answer some questions I had:

  1. What's living expenses like? I know UK is generally more expensive in general, but I couldn't really find a proper gauge of prices for things like food, assuming I don't go to high end restaurants etc

  2. What's a good/reliable mobile network?

  3. What's a normal outfit for a female student during Jan-June (I have always lived in an all year summer place of average 30+ degrees) and what's an affordable store for winterwear? Since I intend to purchase most of my clothes here

  4. How safe is Canterbury in general? In my country I typically feel safe enough to walk alone in the middle of the night, and I can always leave my laptop in a cafe while I take a pee break, but I know that is definitely not the case here I assume.

  5. Any tips or recommendations in general on places to check out?

Thank you!

Parents moving to Canterbury, close to train track. Is it noisy there?

My parents are moving to Ersham Rd, in Canterbury, near the Canterbury East train line. As my dad is a light sleeper they are very anxious about how noisy it will be living there. If you have ever lived there, or near the train tracks on the Canterbury East line, could you tell me about your experience? Could you feel the vibrations from the train? What about noise? Thanks!

Christmas dinner recommendations

Hey all, my partner and I are coming on holiday for Christmas from New Zealand. I was looking for a place to have a proper Christmas lunch like a roast on the 25th. I’m having a hard time finding a decent place to book for the meal so any help is appreciated, walking distance is even better. We are staying in the centre of Canterbury near the Canterbury Roman museum :) Thanks in advance

Bellend Students: Who Got Unlucky This Year?

This year I've got unlucky and now have some dickhead students living next door to me, banging and talking loudly until 5am...ready for my alarm to go off at 6am.

NOTE: Not all students are bad. But my batch this year are.

So, if anyone wants to rant about their bellend student neighbours, feel free to post here.
