"Just experienced the space of this charming performing venue, for the first time, this morning, rehearsing our narropera, Così fan tutte, with soprano Dorothee Jansen and the fine Folkestone 'fiddle', violinist Floriane Peycelon. Excellent acoustic, light attractive feel, intimate, charming. Looking forward to our performance this Friday evening (25th August @ 7.30pm)."
Haydn Rawstron
"Went to an exhibition of photographs of people currently living in Folkestone. The exhibition was thought provoking and photos were amazing. Aida, the photographer is talented."
