MAGPIE EMPORIUM

Great Christmas presents that can be hand-made just the way you would like and it’s all in Folkestone!

THE FOUNTAINS We have the fountains in Folkestone so to make the most of the sunshine we took the children down there after school, they could really play for hours running in and out and collecting the water.
