The Mergate Ball welcomes you onboard the S.S. Faith in Strangers from 9pm on Saturday 1st June until late!
Mergate is an annual festival in Margate, celebrating seaside life and uplifting the voices of those protecting our beaches. Inspired by Coney Island’s Mermaid Parade, we aim to bring the community together.Mergate consists of the Parade & the Event (first Saturday in June); and Mer-May, a month of workshops and activities leading up to it. The Parade invites everyone to dress in a sea-inspired costume and walk along our coastline. The Parade is followed by the Event consisting of performances and market stalls from local artists.Anyone can walk in the Parade. Entry to the Event is ticketed (children under 12 get in free), and a percentage of our proceeds go to RNLI Margate and Rise Up Clean Up.

Did you know we’re now a restaurant?
Before the lights go down and the volume goes up, we’re serving thoughtful dishes, seasonal ingredients, and great drinks – whether it’s brunch, dinner, or both. It’s not just about the party. It’s about the full experience.
Brunch Club runs Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm. Saturdays are lively and adults-only – DJs, big groups, great food. Sundays are slower, more family-friendly, and just as delicious.
Dinner service starts from 6pm – come early, settle in, and enjoy a proper meal before the evening kicks off. Whether you’re here for a celebration or a night out, this is where your evening begins.
Lean into the full Dinner, Drinks and Dance experience – start with a feast, slide into cocktails, and let the night take you from table to dancefloor.
