We are launching a brandnew online monthly magazine called ‘Faversham Life’ on the 16th September 2016. The aim is to celebrate the many interesting and diverse people who live in or around Faversham as well as profil

es of shops, restaurants, gardens, interesting architecture, monthly recipes and unusual local events. Faversham is an extraordinarily fine ancient market town which is increasingly attracting appealing new business and residents. Our wish is to add a very personal take on what we all admire and find captivating in the vicinity. We will not accept advertising or paid-for-content and are embarking on this project as we love Faversham and want to share our enthusiasm for it with as wide an audience as possible.Faversham Life is the creation of writers, Sarah Langton-Lockton, Amicia de Moubray and Posy Gentles, and photographer, Lisa Valder.
