Cirque de Mar-Gay

Every other Thursday • 4.30pm - 6.30pm
10 Apr, 24 Apr, 15 May, 29 May 

Cirque De Mar-Gay  is a queer run circus community group for LGBTQIA+ people and allies with a passion for circus arts to come together, share and learn new skills and meet other circus folks. All levels are welcome. As well as a space to practice it is also a supportive environment for newbies who would like to come and have a go! We have hula hooping, juggling, poi, diabolo, aerial silks and more. Please bring along any props you have! Our meetups are NOT taught sessions, rather time to share and practice your tricks. The hall hire cost is shared between the group, so the more people that come along the cheaper it'll be for each of us!  If you would like to come along please feel free to drop in, message us on our instagram @cirquedemargay or message Rosie on 07861480540 for more information.

Some Voices Choir

Thursdays • 6.30pm - 8.30pm

Some Voices is a new and very friendly choir in Margate. Fresh from our first Christmas show celebrating the joy of all things Disco, this term we're getting ready to host our very own 'Euroclash' song contest.  This is the Eurovision of your wildest dreams, so we'll be singing The Cranberries for Ireland, Bjork for Iceland and Nena (99 Red Balloons) for Germany (plus more), then performing in front of a live voting audience to crown our winner!   If all that sounds like your cup of tea, please come and join us! All voices welcome - only enthusiasm required. :-)

Icons of Margate & Cliftonville
Thursday 8 May • Thursday 15 May • Friday 16 May
10am - 2.30pm

Join artist Carson Parkin- Fairley at workshops at ARK Cliftonville and make an icon of yourself!  Create an artwork that celebrates you and everything you love.  All artwork will be shown in a public exhibition at dreamland this summer, alongside 6 other community groups’ artworks.    The final artwork you'll create will combine photo collage, sculpture and painting, and everyone gets to keep the artwork after the exhibition.  You don’t need to have made art before, you will be guided through the process. You just need to live in Margate or Cliftonville to take part!  Workshops are free, all materials and lunch is provided, but you must attend all sessions - the work created reflects the time taken on it.

Anarchic-Charisma_circle.png

Anarchic Charisma
A Neuroqueer clown lab with Dre Spisto

31 May & 1 June • 11am - 5pm

A two-day immersion into the fluid, unpredictable, and delicious practice of clowning. Clowning is rooted in playfulness and humour, but it is also an act of self-exploration, a process of dismantling and reimagining the self, a bold confrontation with the present moment. This workshop invites you to step away from coherence, embrace absurdity, and push the boundaries between performance and play.
