We are so proud to have been awarded 2nd Best Pier in the UK by the National Piers Society. We were third last year so we need to see if we can make it to 1st place next year – the only way is UP! We were pipped to the post by Great Yarmouth’s Britannia Pier, which has just undergone a £1.8m refurbishment! Thank you to everyone who supports us. If you would like to see us take the crown next year, you can give us your vote by joining the NPS – https://piers.org.uk/membership/.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the pier this year, whether it is just for a stroll along the deck with your family, friends and pooches, to visit our eclectic shopping village, find a place to sit and have a bite to eat and drink or come and dance the night away at one of our amazing evening live music events.

We are thrilled to announce that Herne Bay Pier has been officially shortlisted for the Seaside Heritage Network’s 2026 Bucket and Spade List!
We want to claim the number one spot and celebrate the very best of the British seaside, but we cannot do it without you. Voting is open now until the end of August. It takes less than five minutes to back your local pier and help us bring this prestigious award home to Herne Bay.
