ARK opened its doors at the end of September – and in just a few months, it has become a significant part of Thanet’s cultural landscape.

​

In March, the wonderful Margate Mercury published Carol Cooper’s three page piece about our space - outlining our journey so far and some of the events coming up over the next few months.

And over the Easter weekend, trustees, team and volunteers pitched in to spruce up our bar area. Thanks to everyone who donated their time and to Margate Decorators’ Merchants and Johnstone’s for donating paint, brushes and rollers. We still have some way to go, but the transformation is well underway!

​

As well as an exciting programme of theatre, music and festivals, we are also developing our schedule of workshops and classes, and have added Drama Play & Flow  - the  perfect place for children aged 7-11 to explore  imaginative possibilities in a safe and inclusive environment. Visit www.arkcliftonville.com/workshops for more details.

​

Working with locally-based refugees and asylum seekers is an important part of ARK’s mission, so we are delighted to be working with Pie Factory Music and The Perfect Place to Grow on delivering a year-long programme with some of Cliftonville’s most recent arrivals  - thanks to support from a Thanet Shared Prosperity Grant.

​

There’s lots coming up over the next few months, so stay tuned for more details!
