Don't Miss: My Last Rodeo, Sinners & Slow Sundays
18 events to add to your diary this week!
There are a few new faces around here, so hello, thank you for joining us at Don’t Miss. I’m excited to keep you up to date with all of the joyful things happening in Ramsgate…
This week I’ve managed to keep things local, catching a really cool exhibition by Hannah Battershell at Ramsgate Arts Club (it’s on ‘til May), and enjoying Through The Senses festival, which took over the majority of Ramsgate venues this weekend. If you’re after more of the same, there are plenty of wellness events to get involved with this weekend, too.
Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
