Margate’s art gallery is the jewel of the town. Free to enter and a great place to spend a day. Has its own restaurant.

This is a great place for a rainy day. Entrance is free and they always seem to have some great displays on. It is located right on Margate sea front so if the sun comes out explore the sea front and the Old Town (head down King Street off Barnacles Pub). Margate is quite hip at the moment and there's always something going on.
