Welcome to the local event guide for Folkestone
This website is built with the hope to become the hub for discovering everything happening around town: from art exhibitions and theatre, to family activities, music gigs, pub quizzes, knitting clubs, wine tasting sessions, dance classes, sport training, wellbeing workshops, painting nights, markets, shop openings… you name it (The list can go on…. 😄)
If you’re organising or planning an event, the site makes it super easy to list and promote it, helping you reach the Folkestone community too.
The Inspiration:
There have been lots of amazing events in town, but most have their own little bespoke websites and media pages alongside with beautifully designed posters which you can pick up in town. It felt like a treasure hunt, but without the treasure map! There are sites like Eventbrite or AllEvents are out there, but they’re the big guys and don’t quite capture the local spirit and missing the local vibe we love in Folkestone.
So, here it is, built for the community, running on a non-profit basis and being funded by the admin’s personal salary 😄. We’re hoping aiming to partner with local charities, giving people the option to donate and support great causes in town.
