NEW ART CENTRE IN FOLKESTONE!

KOLLECTIV.ART

I found a great new art space that has just opened down the Old High Street in Folkestone, it is nice and welcoming when arriving and they are so friendly. You can find it by our Banksy picture and up from Bella Vita. The space is big enough to show some great art on the walls, which changes so all artists get a chance to show their work. I loved the wall of mirrors, making the space look even bigger. I cannot wait to take the laptop and get inspired for the next writing project.

There is a cafe/bar, very handy if you are there a while you can start on the coffee and drift onto the wine or even a bottle of prosecco! A couple of tables outside for some people watching or just relaxing, taking in the sites or taking a break from your work. They are holding events for a variety of topics so if you have something in mind go and have a chat, I will put all contact details at the end of this post. They also have a newsletter so sign up for that and you will never miss anything, I have found a couple of events I am interested in already. I do love this place, can you tell? lol

Are you a lover of poems? On Thursday the 2nd of October they are having a poetry marathon to break the Guinness world record! Take your favourite poem and head down there from 10 am until 10 pm or just go and support them but remember to sign up.

If writing is your topic then you will love this as there are a few writing events and even some monthly ones, I may see you there for some of these. I think this is going to be a very popular place for all sorts of events, work hubs or just to get away from life for a coffee or drink.

They certainly know what they are doing as shown in their history above and the success they have had so far in Folkestone. They are the people to talk to about events, art and our amazing music town.
