Am I right in thinking that you are closed on Saturdays? Seems a bit strange as this is the day that most people, ourselves included, have the time to come down & visit.
Is there somewhere we can check in suitcases and bags at the gallery (hand luggage size) we will be arriving to margate in the morning and will not be able to check in to our apartment till later. Thanks

For future reference for anyone in 2019 wanting to know: I visited yesterday and had a cabin sized suitcase with me. I didn't think my suitcase would fit but it did with room left for a few carrier bags I had also. I paid £1 at the cash desk for a token (you get to keep this so if you return again, you don't need to pay for a locker again) We were also allowed to leave our bags in the lockers whilst we went off and did other things at Margate which was so great as it was really hot and the idea of lugging around a suitcase was not what I had in mind for a weekend by the sea!
