Teapot Island is a teapot museum in Kent, England. The museum grew from the personal teapot collection of owner Sue Blazye, which started when her grandmother gave her a teapot in 1983, encouraging other family members and friends to do the same. The growth of her collection eventually led to her needing a larger space to house it, and she established Teapot Island in Yalding, in November 2002. The building used for the collection used to be a cafe called the Riverside Diner, which had been in operation since the 1950s. The collection has been valued at £15,000.Teapot Island was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2004, for being the largest collection of teapots. The museum lost this title in 2011, when it was awarded to a man in China with a collection of 30,000. In 2011, the museum was featured in the book Crap Days Out, in which the authors stated: "It's awful if you don't like teapots. But it's probably all right if you do."

Originally established by the organic gardening charity HDRA (now called Garden Organic), the gardens were established to show a range of organically maintained kitchen and other garden types throughout history. Visitors could explore the history of gardening through 18 gardens set in five acres of Kent countryside. The 13th-century apothecary's garden and Victorian artisan's glasshouse demonstrated the unique results yielded through organic gardening methods. In 2007, the gardens were closed due to lack of funding. However, in 2008, the site was leased by its owners, the Congelow Trust, to Maro Foods, but it was closed again in December 2009. The gardens re-opened as “The Yalding Gardens and Bushel Box Farmshop and Cafe” on 12 June 2010–only to close again in October 2011. Since 2017 it has been a spring and summer wedding venue The Gardens Yalding.
