Ramsgate's population reached 42,027 at the 2021 census, making it the largest of the Thanet coastal towns and one of the busiest seaside destinations in east Kent.
The Royal Harbour and Petticoat Lane Emporium
Ramsgate Royal Harbour is the only harbour in the United Kingdom with the official right to call itself 'Royal' — a title granted by George IV in 1821, in appreciation of the town's hospitality when he sailed from Ramsgate with the Royal Squadron bound for Hanover. The Grade II*-listed harbour was designated a Heritage Harbour in July 2024, and it remains the centrepiece of the town, ringed by Georgian terraces and Victorian arches now home to boat sales, ship chandlers and artists' studios.
A short walk inland, Petticoat Lane Emporium runs over 200 stalls of antiques, crafts and curios under one roof — one of the larger indoor collectables markets on this stretch of coast. Add in the weekly general market and the seasonal Handmade & Vintage Fair down on the Royal Harbour's Pier Yard, and Ramsgate has plenty of places to browse — just not, between them, anywhere set up to sell sweets by the kilo.
What none of that covers
Antiques stalls, harbourside gift shops and a handmade fair are built around a browse and a single bag bought in person — not a 3kg bulk order, a vegan-specific range, or a halal-friendly selection put together for a business. Ramsgate's shopping streets are genuinely worth a visit; they're just not where a bulk sweets order comes from.
Why Ramsgate shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a market-stall quantity, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no trip to the harbourfront required, and no limit on how much you're buying at once.
