Hi there! I've only recently moved to kent and was wandering is anyone knew about the alternative nightlife in Canterbury? i'd like to get out and meet some like minded people since i'm new around here and don't know anyone yet.
thanks! :)

The metal/rock scene kind of sucks in Canterbury. :(
aww :( at least it can't be any worse than in rural france XD
This is true, there are plenty of people who like the alt scene, just not a massive amount of dedicated nights/pubs.
We had a 'metal' night last night at the Penny with a few live bands which actually turned out to be pretty good. I think we may be planning maybe one or two of these nights a month from now on. Keep an eye out for that. Otherwise I'd say stick with The Lady Luck as your watering hole if you're after alternative nights.
That's cool to hear, though I must admit the Penny isn't my fav bar.
Wasn't that metal night someones birthday event though?
Especially now that the Beer Cart is gone.
There are simply no decent venues in Canterbury. Whatever music you're into there's nowhere big enough for even the smallest acts to play.
The Lady Luck is probably your best bet for alternative nights! Anything more than that, I'm not sure, I'm afraid.
thanks. i kinda thought that'd be the case. although it does look like it gets some fun stuff there, my friend went to a rocky horror event a couple of days ago and said it was pretty good.
