November 2018 marks a significant milestone in the development of the Betteshanger Project. With 5 months to go until our state of the art new Visitor Centre opens its doors, it’s time to say goodbye to the original Fowlmead Café/Visitor Centre and Cycle Hire “shed”
The visitor facilities at the Park will be removed during the week commencing 5 November. At the same time, temporary visitor facilities will open in the car park providing a warm dry space with (limited) catering and toilets.
Our Cycle Hire facility will also be operated from this location and a portion of our mountain bike trails will be re-routed to allow for this move.
Our new Visitor Centre and the Kent Mining Museum will open on 30 March 2019.
Make your donation personal
We need your help to raise £250,000 to support the development of the Betteshanger Project. In return, you’ll become part of our future, achieving our goal of remembering the past, whilst building a better and more sustainable future for all to enjoy.
Put yourself in the picture: from £10, have your picture featured in our 5m mosaic mural of The Waiting Miner in our new cafe.
Personalise your pit check: from £50, choose your limited edition miners pit check number and shape. Add your name or dedicate it to a loved one. Your check will hang at the entrance to the new Visitor Centre and one will be sent to you as a keepsake.

The sun'll come out tomorrow...... no seriously, we checked. And you know what that means? Welly boots on - puddles are just waiting to be splashed in.
Why not add a little high-tech to your hike and try out geocaching? Navigate the Park and locate the 'caches' using our handheld GPS receivers. All equipment is available from Cycle Hire.

We will open from 12pm - 4.30pm today.
Last month, SURVIVAL landed at Betteshanger Park for another round of obstacle madness. It was a huge event - and we couldn't have done it without the help of our superstar sponsors.
So this Sunday, we dedicate our shout out to the one and only James Nash at JustSigns for his incredible work on signage, posters, leaflets, maps and awesome finishers wall... Plus, making our vehicles look brilliantly on brand.
