Visited Margate late last month and was pleasantly surprised and delighted to have the chance to visit the underrated Turner Contemporary Gallery . One of the better highlights of my visit staff were local based and friendly I asked about vinyl stores and I was direct by a nice lady on the first floor she had a ponytail and mentioned Aldi supermarket on the Northdown road. Thank you I made the vinyl shop It must of been fri 25 October.I would definitely go back to see future exhibitions it was free but I contributed a donation . The building has a lovely energy about it though.

The building is uninspiring, and there is little or no art on display. The current exhibition, Anya Gallaccio: preserve, is profoundly underwhelming - a mixture of naivety and hubris - and could best be described as an emperor’s new clothes experience.

Seems like a lot of space for not very much to look at. Saying that I don't really 'get' modern art so I definitely won't be going back. Honestly I'm surprised there's even an art exhibition space in Margate, I think it might fit in better if the whole area was redeveloped - the Lido for instance. Good for parking however and there are lifts to all floors. Gift shop was really expensive.

A lovely gallery and exhibitions that change during the year. There is a nicely located coffee shop- which seems to be run independently, although the staff are very friendly, the service is slow and the selection poor. This seems to have been managed by several operators over the years and the present operator is not particularly good.

Fantastic display of living art from the moment you enter the installation of macrame net suspended from the ceiling united the coastal setting to the interior. See an amazing display of living art as oxygen works on the exhibits. See candle wax melt to form ever moulding architecture. See gazanis flowers as their life ebbs into decay and amazing colours fade to grey fibrous skeletons. Stunningas you watch an amazing 3d printer at work - more art in the making.

Don't use the Turner car park under any circumstance. It's run by a private company that will try and fine you at any oppertunity. If you don't purchase a ticket within minuites of entering the ANPR will clock you. You'll then receive all kinds of threats and scare tactics. Shame on Turner who will reply to this review with a generic response about using other car parks rather than making a stand.

It is a lovely building with huge space to display modern art, but there’s not much on display. What is on show may not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, they do sell cups of tea (and coffee too) in their cafeteria which might be more appealing for some visitors. I enjoy modern art and was looking forward to this gallery. Didn't feel that the building made the best of its seaside setting. There wasn't a lot inside. A wedding was taking up a large chunk of the building. The exhibition was ok

The cafe has a lovely situation and I have eaten there with two previous tenants. The current menu is not particularly exciting and is expensive for what they offer. The food itself was ok. The main problem was the whole place felt grubby. Cakes were uncovered on a counter scattered with crumbs. Tables were not cleared or cleaned for a long time. I had to move dishes so I could eat. Even the floor needed a sweep and good mop. There seemed to be enough staff but perhaps they need to be trained and organised better. Generally disappointing and not as good as before.

Excellent contemporary art gallery about 15 minutes walk from Margate railway station. The gallery which opened in 2011, is built on the site of the boarding house where JMW Turner stayed during his visits to Margate. Entry to the gallery is free. We travelled by train from London to see the exhibition of work by American abstract expressionist Ed Clark which closes on 1 September. It was excellent. On the ground floor there were also three interesting bronze sculptures by US artist Linda Benglis.

I visited Turner Contemporary in Margate, and my experience was a mix of highs and lows. The gallery itself is in a great location, with beautiful views of the sea, which adds to the overall ambiance. The building's modern design is striking and blends well with the coastal surroundings. The exhibits were thought-provoking, with a good range of contemporary art that caters to different tastes. I particularly enjoyed the installations, which were both creative and engaging. However, I felt that the overall collection was a bit limited, and some of the exhibits didn’t quite resonate with me. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, I found that the layout of the gallery could be improved. It felt somewhat disjointed, making it difficult to navigate between different sections. Additionally, I was hoping for more information and context about the artwork on display. The lack of detailed descriptions made it harder to fully appreciate the pieces. The café offered a decent selection of food and drinks, but the prices were on the higher side for what was offered. It would have been nice to see more affordable options available. Overall, Turner Contemporary is worth a visit if you're in Margate, especially for art enthusiasts. However, there's definitely room for improvement in terms of exhibit variety and visitor experience.

If you are visiting Margate sands - why not spend an hour or so of your time absorbing the culture found within the Turner Gallery. It is free, continually changes their exhibitions throughout the year and houses some exceptional work from across the globe. In short - a worthwhile visit. Longer Review: we have never been disappointed with our visits to The Tate groups, Turner Gallery. We have seen work by Turner himself, Grayson Perry and even a piece by my favourite American artist Edward Hopper. The gallery is modern and not too demanding on time. There are lockers to store your belongings, restrooms, cafe and a gift shop. On sunny days, there may even be deck chairs at the entrance overlooking the bay of Margate sands. In our most recent trip, this was accompanied by a DJ plying vintage sounds. The Turner Gallery is more than just a museum though - it serves as the hotbed of forward thinking ideals and virtues - bringing a blend of cultural life into Margate that is wonderful to see and experience. Personally - I love this venue and always look forward to our next visit.

Disgusted by the Car Parking Arrangment outside of the building that would be used by visitors..monitored by a company that fines you as they use cameras to note your registration that you are not made aware of when you park using the Ringi App, then 4 months down the line get a letter from Debt collecting company (Debt Recovery Plus) chasing you for £170 unpaid ticket for or threatening you with court action..never received a parking ticket or 3 previous letters from the debt collection company either and have my Ringo evidence that contradicts the camera timings of entering and leaving on time for my Ringo payment time. Will be taking this up with Local BBC media and social media to establish who else has been conned by this parking company called SMART PARKING LTD.

I had wanted to visit this gallery since hearing of it. A long journey from where I live it took a while to plan a visit. I was prepared to be amazed. The sculptures in the entrance foyer were wonderful and I was prepared for further treasures. Sadly the main exhibition was five fooms by a featured artist who was not to my taste at all. That was it! I suggest visitors research what is currently on display before travelling. Disappointing, no, but sadly I was derinitely underwhelmed.

Only in Margate for a few days. Was looking forward to visiting the gallery on Friday May 24th and was disappointed to learn, when I arrived, that the gallery was closed for the day. If that had been mentioned when I checked the hours of operation, I wouldn't have walked for 45 minutes just to get there..... Update: thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I don't live in England, which is why the closure was so disappointing. I imagine there are many visitors in Margate who do not live in, or regularly visit that part of the world, so it would be a good to make it known when you will not be open, however temporarily.

This is more than a gallery. Exhibits change and experience of them.is a matter of taste. Other things about the Tirner gallery are katters of fact and I visit a lot so can.htske the l8bg view. So, as a matter of fact, the staff are friendly and welcoming especially in the coffee shop where they make time for everyone. Security is subtle and completely unobtrusive. There is no need to go online and be at the mercy of algorithms, bot puzzles and coverage drop-outs. Walk in and enjoy. And a special mention to the bathroom.facilities which are plentiful, well equipped and very well cleaned and maintained. The V&A may have more exhibits to offer (exhibits are fantastic) but you won't be as well looked after and it doesn 't have a lovely sea view! Nor are there great fish n chips just over the road.🏖

Not an attractive building from the outside, and nothing special inside, with drab and dull spaces and little done to exploit its position on the seafront next to the harbour.

I visited here with some friends and had t really researched the place. I expected to see some Turners given the seemingly eponymous naming of the gallery. What I found instead was a curious contemporary gallery housed in an architecturally intriguing building. It really adds to the town and looks great. Sadly, we didn’t get to see much as they happened to be setting up exhibitions when we were there, but we saw a couple of pieces from the permanent collection, and checked out the shop which was full of quirky bits and bobs. Hope to come back here and see more!

This was a special 'pop up' event. There was a broad bean & ricotta salata tartlett to start, then a fish & chip roquette or asparagus both served with pea fitter (my favourite part of the meal). The main course was steak with a Thai sour fruit salad (there was a vegan option of a cauliflower 'steak' and a delicious strawberry & clotted cream baked alaska as a dessert. The venue is great with glorious views over the harbour and town. The staff were attentive and friendly. We'll definitely come again.

I am a Turner fan - as such an (overdue) impromptu Margate visit made the Contemporary a main focus. Disable Parking was convenient, the entrance is predominantly a very nicely appointed and spacious shop. Large tactile-looking sculptures adorned the ground-floor space encouraging visitors to be... well, tactile. But don't. The small and too-distant wall plaque says not to touch... at a height and size unsuitable for smaller children, the disabled or otherwise challenged folk to notice before they had passed (and touched) the sculptures(?) The seaward window is amazing - a real nod to what the Contemporary's namesake would come to Margate to see/paint/harness. There wasn't anything else of note available/on-view downstairs, other dusplay room doors were locked or closed off. Moving upstairs was the main gallery feature of Ed Clarke work. This was a pleasing homage and insight into the artist and his method(s). It was across three medium-sized gallery rooms. For us this wasn't enough unfortunately, and means you leave the space prematurely. The coffee shop is well located and takes advantage of lots of light and glass. The cakes were unfortunately not good enough in our opinion, lacking flavour. There's plenty of arty hubbub and eclecticism to be found elsewhere in the surrounding streets; vintage mod moped riders, carib dining, vintage furnishings/clothing, sweets and ice creams. Dreamland is a very short walk. By midday Margate has a compact, thriving, summery feel. A classic seaside town in recovery and constant positive transition... 'Turner conditions'. Margate is on the up.

This place is a lovely atmosphere however one of our servers was quite rude. I didn’t catch her name however she was blonde and a slim figure. Her skirt was so short and her attitude was rude. I expected more from this restaurant. Food was great.

Sunday dinner with the family . Warm welcome, very busy but they coped well . Sunday roasts were lovely , plenty of meat , roasties in a bowl . We ordered pigs in their blankets as an extra well worth it . Prices were very reasonable , will return.

Reading the other reviews on here I believe I may have just come on a bad day. £7.50 for an incredibly small breakfast sandwich without any sauce with burned bacon, overcooked egg and tough bread. Took them about 25 minutes to get around to serving it while a small Scottish gentleman frantically ran around shouting “2 minutes “ in every direction to just about anyone who would listen. I certainly wouldn’t be recommending this establishment to anyone
