A dreamy sunday in margate: emma corrin's coastal guide

Finding solace by the sea

As Ashley White, I’ve always believed that our homes should be reflections of nature's tranquility. It's wonderful to see how others find peace and inspiration in the natural world. Emma Corrin, currently captivating audiences as Elizabeth Bennet in Netflix's upcoming Pride and Prejudice adaptation, has discovered a haven in Margate, a charming Kent seaside town. Away from the Regency drama, Margate offers a unique blend of sea air, artistic energy, and a timeless appeal that truly rejuvenates the soul. Let’s explore Corrin’s ideal Sunday escape.

A rising star with diverse roles

Corrin’s career has been marked by transformative roles, from Princess Diana in The Crown to Virginia Woolf in Orlando. Their ability to embody such diverse characters showcases incredible talent and a fearless approach to acting. The recent blockbuster success of Deadpool & Wolverine (released in July) only further solidifies Corrin’s star power, making their return to Margate for a restorative weekend even more appealing.

Morning rituals: beach walks and coffee

Corrin’s perfect Sunday begins with a walk along Margate’s beach during low tide. The My Tide Times app becomes essential, structuring the day around the ebb and flow of the sea. Barefoot exploration, feeling the sand between your toes, and a playful romp with a dog are key elements of this joyful morning routine. Following the beach walk, a visit to Big Shot or Curve is in order for a revitalizing coffee.

Exploring the old town's treasures

Margate’s Old Town is a treasure trove of vintage and antique shops. Allow ample time to wander and discover unique finds. A stop at The Margate Bookshop is a must for book lovers; their Instagram page is a source of literary inspiration. It’s a place to get lost in the charm of the past and uncover hidden gems, reflecting the beauty of a well-curated space.

Lunch, local brews, and unexpected museums

For lunch and a pint, The George and Heart offers a fantastic menu and often features pop-up chefs. Don't miss the opportunity to sample their locally brewed beer, Perrin, crafted by Northdown Brewery. Be prepared for spontaneous encounters and the chance to make new friends – Margate’s residents are known for their legendary charm. And, of course, a visit to the one-of-a-kind Crab Museum is essential, a surprisingly informative and entertaining experience.

Art, culture, and sunset serenity

Acknowledging Margate’s artistic heritage, Corrin recommends a visit to the Carl Freedman Gallery, run by Rob Diament of Talk Art. The gallery showcases emerging artists pushing creative boundaries. As the day winds down, a stroll along the seafront leads to choices for a pre-dinner drink. Little Swift is recommended for its exceptional margaritas. Finally, dinner at Dive, with its curated menu and beautifully decorated space, sets the stage for a truly memorable evening, culminating in a breathtaking sunset over the harbor.
