Folks, don’t miss The Drill Shed…the 750 capacity venue situated underneath the Lido sign in Margate re-opened its doors for Reef last weekend and is back in action every weekend until NYE!

If you’ve wondered why it’s been quiet, they’ve spent the last two months dropping in a new acoustic ceiling.

Not quite the quick job it sounds like - 11 new steel beams, 66 purlins, two thick layers of Rocksilk insulation, fire board, acoustic board and more.

But…they’re ready to go again with a more intimate, better sound and a packed autumn programme. Let’s take a look!

And if you missed it… last week’s newsletter still has lots of things happening you need to know about.

As well as my standard roaming around shopping in brocantes and hypermarchés, I also visited a very important project in Ramsgate Town Centre this week. If you’ve yet to meet Michelle and Kurt - the team behind Differences Not Disabilities - at the Friday market, I’d love for you to take a look at their very important work. The duo are currently working on an empty space in the High Street (believe me, it’s a project) and in doing so, they’re also fundraising for said space. I know we’re faced with a lot of Crowdfunders for projects, but the drive to succeed this team have is infectious. You can see more about the project and donate here, as well as getting in touch with anything useful you might be able to offer to help with the space. I hope to include events from them in their new home in 2027!

And if you missed it… last week’s newsletter still has lots of things happening you need to know about.

Occasionally, a workshop will pop up that sounds so intriguing and life-enhancing, you book a place before even checking your schedule. This series is that.

(You had me at Seance.)

Book in now for this four-part writing and creative practice programme led by multidisciplinary artist and ‘ritual’ composer RIEKO, who will explore different ways to access your creativity.

Just stay with me a minute.

This is play. (RIEKO has called her art a ‘daily act of devotion and play’).

This is a space to experiment and to create - not to produce perfection.

This is self-examination. Reaching into your chest, exploring your internal world, the place from which you create, the place where your inspiration lives; that jewel at your core which fires when you’re in flow.

This programme is your chance to dig deeper into your creative practice (whatever that may be) and challenge yourself with new starting points - or a different medium entirely.

Each week will start somewhere new.

Explore your intuition, memory and self-expression through movement, writing, drawing and improvised performance.

The series will build to an optional public presentation in December.

Sounds intense? Well - so is your art hun. So, let’s get into it.

Don’t stress - it’s just for fun.

Some of my family are here this weekend, so I’m on my best Ramsgate tourism board behaviour showing them exactly what we have on offer.

And if you missed it… last week’s newsletter still has lots of things happening you need to know about.

From new rides to extended opening days, Dreamland has something for everyone this August.

I end every summer with tokens scattered around the house from friend and family visits (and every summer think I should get a season pass!), so I’ll be gathering them up for one last jaunt on the rides (til October) - just me and my wife. A Dreamland date day is something we do every year. And now we’ve got til 2 Sept to do it.

Don’t miss out - Georgina x

The summer holidays are nearly done but not yet!

Our favourite amusement park has added extra opening dates and has some incredible wristband prices to make it even more affordable to enjoy all the fun of the fair before school starts again.

Don’t miss these five reasons to get down there now.

1.Dreamland Margate is open every day until 2 Sept

The park is open daily including every day of the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Extra dates have just been added on Tue 1 and Wed 2 Sept, so you get two bonus days after the bank holiday rush dies down.

After 2 September the park goes back to weekend only opening. Dreamland’s opening times are 10.30am - 6pm, rides open from 11am.

2. Ride wristbands are 15% off for two more weeks

Wristband prices are frozen at 15% off until 2 September.

Tiny Tots Wristbands are £10.99. They cover the smaller rides including Little River, Cups and Saucers, Ladybirds, Margate Express, Helter Skelter, Noah’s Ark, Magic Rockets, Austin Cars and the Caterpillar Coaster. Ideal for children between 0.8m and 1.2m.

Mega Ride Wristbands are £20.99 and give unlimited access to every ride all day. For anyone over 1.2m.

Prefer to pay as you go?

Standard ride tokens are £3 each, or 20 for £40. One token per ride. Buy them at the booths on site. T&Cs apply.

3. There’s a brand new Bavarian Funhouse

New for this summer- and until Sept only - the Bavarian Funhouse has three levels of wobbly floors, water jets, crazy steps and rolling barrels.

It’s one token per rider, and it’s included in the Mega Wristband. Minimum height is 1m if accompanied, or 1.2m to go in alone.

See all the rides here

4. Big names are still to come on the Scenic Stage

The outdoor season goes out on a high. If you haven’t been to a Dreamland gig yet this summer, there are some corkers coming up this month. Don’t miss…

Fri 21 Aug: Nile Rodgers and CHIC, with The Brand New Heavies and James Emmanuel.
Sat 22 Aug: Bastille, with Orla Gartland and Only The Poets.
Sun 30 Aug: Babyshambles, with Big Special, Warmduscher, GANS and PreGoblin.
