heck your albums! Your seaside pics could be included in a major new exhibition planned
South East Archive of Seaside [SEAS] Photography) would like to put right. They are inviting submissions of portfolios, archives and collections of photography that were made around the British seaside, for consideration – this might be from a photographer’s body of works or from hidden or unexplored archives held by individuals, organisations, institutions or collections.
Subject matter is unlimited, but must be in some way directly related to the British seaside culture and the ideas it has engendered over the decades.

Dance company Jasmin Vardimon Company has won an Arts Council grant to establish a “creative laboratory” in Ashford. The capital grant of £3 million will enable the building of a centre of excellence that supports their commitment to education, strengthens community engagement and provides a base for the company’s national and international touring programme. Kent County Council is supporting and leading the development and Mike Hill, KCC’s Cabinet member for Community and Regulatory Services, said: “This is superb news for the creative sector in Kent. Jasmin Vardimon will now be able to move to purpose-built premises on a new site to continue its work as an internationally- renowned contemporary dance company.”

Hop along to HopFestFringe
The Faversham Hop Festival will have a creative glow at the edges with the return of HopFestFringe – an open access performing arts events festival taking place over the same weekend, 1st-3rd September.
In fact, HopFestFringe is set to provide a banquet of drama, magic, mentalism, hypnotism, several fl avours of comedy and a sprinkling of dance, and poetry – with stand-up comedian Harun Musho’d, hypnotist Ben Dali, and magician Craig Stephenson who will be arriving fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe. Local talent is on show, too – Whitstable’s Chris Guy, with his brand new musical, LOSER!, and Canterbury- based Eliiot D Huxtable with his play, The Value of a Reasoned Argument. Events will be hosted by The Arden Theatre, the Fleur de Lis Hall, and The Old Brewery Store, all within the town centre.
The idea for the fringe hit Ribs Norman and Jude Sach last June and incredibly, just three months later, the festival was launched. • For tickets and show details, visit
