We did it, Folkestone 💛📚

✨ 2,073 of you made it happen✨

With books in hand, you turned the beach into a living, breathing library, breaking the record for the largest beach book swap ever held within one hour, surpassing 591 participants.

But honestly, it felt like more than a record.

It was the moment the bell rang and books moved down the line.

The conversations between strangers.

The families, the laughter, the stacks of stories being passed on.

This is what Folkestone is a Library is all about. Not a building, but a shared culture of reading, connection and imagination, held by all of you.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came down, brought a book, supported the day and made it what it was. And to all the partners, volunteers and teams who helped shape something so welcoming and generous.

This is just the beginning.

A new chapter for learning at Creative Folkestone ✨

From Wednesday 27 May, most of our learning activities will move from Block 67 at The Glassworks to The Cube - creating more space for workshops and creativity across the Creative Quarter.

Young Animators, Adult Workshops and School Workshops will all take place at The Cube, beside F51 Indoor Skate Park.

Our Family Drop-In Workshops will also move to a new home in the Lower Atrium at The Glassworks from Saturday 20 June.

While locations are changing, our commitment to accessible, creative learning for all ages remains the same. We can’t wait to welcome you into these new spaces and continue growing together through creativity.
