Pavement Pounders and the Folkestone Book Festival

The Folkestone Book Festival have again asked  Pavement Pounders, a local community interest company to devise and lead a guided walk. This year the walk will be loosely based on the theme of innovation – scientific, artistic, metaphorical and concrete – both past and present. From the coming of the railways 150 years ago to the making of The Creative Quarter, innovation has been central to the story of Folkestone.

Explore with us this heritage on our doorstep.

Sunday 4th November and Thursday 8th November  On both dates; meet at The Quarterhouse, Tontine St. 11.30am  £6.50 / £5.50 friends / £4.50 conc.
Booking and Information  01303 858500, http://folkestonebookfest.com/pavement-pounders/

Local Artists Support Creative Quarter Big Draw

The Big Draw in Folkestone's Creative Quarter


The Big Draw is the world’s biggest celebration of drawing. It has grown into a month-long festival throughout October all over the UK. Every year more people across the world join Big Draw events and engage in creative activities. The Campaign for Drawing is an independent charity which raises the profile of drawing as a tool for thought, creativity, social and cultural engagement. The Campaign has created a new regard for the value of drawing to help people see, think, invent and take action. Its long-term ambition is to change the way drawing is perceived by educationalists and the public. This has won support from leading practitioners in the creative industries and in art, architecture and design colleges, signalling an overdue realisation that drawing is fundamental to the training of students in these disciplines. The Campaign takes a wider view. It sees drawing as a basic human skill useful in all walks of life. 
The Campaign's work will finish when the words 'I can't draw' are dropped from our vocabulary.
