Youth & Yore : Folkestone

Over the next few months we will be engaging with groups of young people and groups of people over 75 in order to create a brand new piece of family theatre about Folkestone!

Our first youth workshop will then be happening over 4 days during May half term - if you know a young person interested in joining then click here.

If you know someone over 75 who would like to get involved click here too!

Recently, we were lucky enough to be invited by Farnham Maltings to take part in Pitch Up Kent, alongside 10 other brilliant creatives. It was such a fantastic day, where we got to pitch our Youth & Yore platform to venues across the South.

We met so many talented people and connected with incredible venues - and everyone was so welcoming and supportive to a brand new company like us. It was so great to see so many creatives doing amazing things in the region and we left feeling incredibly inspired by the day and excited for the future.

Huge thanks to Farnham Maltings and House for hosting such a welcoming and supportive event. We’re so excited to see where these new connections take us—watch this space!
