BLINK: MARGATE August 27 For one night only, Margate will undergo a miraculous transformation. Thousands are expected to gather along the seafront as buildings come alive, people take to the streets and stunning fire structures appear on the beach. BLINK is a celebratory event that will re-imagine not only the seafront, but also the sea and sky beyond. A multi-award-winning team will collaborate to create a one- off, spectacular night-time event that will animate buildings, create stunning, large-scale fire objects, and interweave the theatrical and pyrotechnical elements of the show. BLINK has been developed in partnership with Turner Contemporary, Theatre Royal, Margate, Kent County Council, Thanet District Council, University of Kent, The Dreamland Trust, Dance and Thanet College. This free event starts at 9.15pm.
