What's On Folkestone

⚽ IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT EURO 2024 ✈️

The next game of England’s journey at The 2024 EUROs will fall on Sunday 30th June. This is the same day as Armed Forces Day in Folkestone, which includes an Airshow, and has always been an incredibly busy day for us.

With the Red Arrows due to take to the skies around kick off and being a major venue to witness this spectacle in the skies, we cannot accommodate both large scale events in a safe, well managed way. Your safety and enjoyment have always been our top priority, and we therefore cannot show the upcoming England game. We apologise for any disappointment football fans, but this is out of our hands!

But fear not. Should England progress (🤞) we look forward to being able to show their journey on our big screen; the best way to enjoy live sports. Tickets will be charged at £12 for adults and £4 for children (4 - 14) +booking fee.

With unparalleled views right across the coastline and a huge variety of food and drink on offer, Folkestone Harbour is definitely one of the top places to take in the display. We look forward to welcoming you.

A free summer holiday bus service takes to the road in Folkestone next month (from 20th July).

The “Reach the Beach” service will bring visitors and residents from the town’s train stations into Folkestone town centre and down to the beach.

The new summer season hop on, hop off buses will run daily from Saturday 20 July until Sunday 1 September and will be free for passengers to use wherever they get on.

Buses will leave Folkestone West half-hourly beginning at 10am (breaks at lunch time and mid-afternoon), with the last bus returning from Folkestone Harbour at 7.45pm.

Stops during the 10-minute journey will include Cheriton Road outside Folkestone Central Station, Shellons Street (for town centre), F51 Skate Park, Old High Street and the Harbour Arm.

The hop on, hop off service is being provided by local bus company, Crosskeys, and supported with funding from the government’s Bus Service Improvement Plan allocation to Kent County Council.

Announcing the new service, Alan Johnson, Managing Director of Crosskeys said: “We are very pleased to be providing this service in Folkestone during the summer. It will have the benefit of bringing visitors and residents into the town centre, boosting our local businesses whilst helping ease congestion

“The additional benefit of the service is the environmental one, by providing a seamless journey between train and bus. Also, being free this is great opportunity to demonstrate the value of the bus and joined up public transport.

Tonight! Live music at The Chambers. Don’t miss out.

Had a really interesting conversation with Kate Wintie this evening about how the live music landscape has changed since Covid times and certainly since the heady days of BSP. Really want to create an ethos of pure, beautiful, live music. Have habits changed? Do people only attend live music gigs of people they’ve heard of? Hmmmm, let me know your thoughts when I see you at Blueskypie’s Mish Mash Monday at the legendary live music gig venue The Chambers on Monday 26th Feb with three fantastic live bands. Cool Hot Rockers, Well’ard, HEATHENS.
I can’t wait for this night and I’ve really enjoyed talking to everyone I meet about the gig and feeling everyone’s excitement. Remember how many people reminisce about being at the first S*x Pistols gig, way more than were actually there. Lol. This will be you when you said you were here and witnessed history in the making.
