The monthly sessions are run by Ramsgate Arts and offer an opportunity to meet people with similar interests and maybe, eventually, hatch some plans together. It’s an informal session – drinks and snacks are available, and there’s usually a talk or short piece of work by someone – which may promote discussion. There’s also an opportunity to broadcast any forthcoming arts events to people who are interested in creative work.

It’s a sociable thing – everyone welcome – held on the last Thursday of the month at 8.00pm at the Small Boat Owners Club on Guildford Lawn, Ramsgate, next door to the library.

 

The next Festival Club session is November 24th October with Maggie Harris who has recently written her first novel and will be talking about the difference between poetry and novel writing – a great opportunity to get an insight into the writing process.

The December session may not take place depending upon demand due to Christmas – please email us – info@ramsgatearts.org – if you want us to run a club night.

Ramsgate’s Harbour Parade hosted a music stage, with foot-tapping party sounds, fantastic family-friendly workshops and activities, a market with lots of handmade items, a hog roast stall and street entertainment by Sam Beedle the Magician.

The fun kicked off at noon with a performance by Dance Dedication who gave an impromptu lesson for people to learn or improve their dance skills.

In the marquee there was storytelling enchantment by Scandalmongers, music workshops by Filipe Gomes.

Emily Tull was hand to help make lanterns which were used in the evening’s procession of light.

On the music stage there were appearances by Hullabaloo, 3 Sticks Drummers, Flamexicano, Richard Rozze, the Kent Show Choir and Filipe Gomes.

A procession of light followed by fireworks at 9pm completed the fun!

The Billy Chong Blues Band played on the music stage after the fireworks and brought the evening to a footstomping end!

Dead Poets Mark Grist and MCMixy closed the fun with their Hip Hop Poetry!
