Whitstable Oyster Festival
Whitstable Oyster Festival[edit]
The Whitstable Oyster Festival is an annual event that takes place in Whitstable, a seaside town located in the north coast of Kent, England. The festival celebrates the town's rich history and association with the oyster industry.
History[edit]
The Whitstable Oyster Festival has a long history dating back to the Norman period. The festival was traditionally held on St James's Day (25th July) when local fishermen would give thanks for a successful harvest and pray for their safety at sea. The modern festival was revived in 1985 and has since become a major event in the town's calendar.
Events[edit]
The Whitstable Oyster Festival typically lasts for a week and includes a variety of events such as oyster eating competitions, parades, and live music. The festival begins with the 'Landing of the Oysters', a ceremonial event where the first catch of oysters is brought ashore. Other popular events include the 'Oyster Food Fair', where visitors can sample a variety of oyster dishes, and the 'Whitstable Oyster Festival Parade', a colourful procession through the town.
Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company[edit]
The Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company plays a significant role in the festival. Established in 1793, the company is one of the oldest commercial ventures in the UK. It is responsible for managing the oyster beds in the waters off Whitstable and supplying oysters for the festival.
Impact on the Town[edit]
The Whitstable Oyster Festival attracts thousands of visitors each year, providing a significant boost to the local economy. The festival also helps to preserve the town's maritime heritage and promotes the sustainable harvesting of oysters.
