Wheels of Time Kent

Meet Roamin’ Rex.

Rex has been travelling through time for many years before he landed in Kent. He has roamed the land with cavemen, marched with the Romans, cultivated the land with 16th century farmers, and cycled through the Victorian period.

Hello! I’m Roamin’ Rex, the time traveller. Let’s discover Kent’s fantastic museums and heritage venues together.

This is a genuinely awesome scheme.Parent of Ben, Age 7

We have met new friends where we have bumped into other explorers and staff on our journey.Parent of Dan, Age 10
