Our Michele was on the radio last night, talking about Folkestone StoryMap on The Dominic King Show. Here’s the interview which includes snippets of several of the stories:
Janet & Steve live in Folkestone in the imposing house known as Shangri La, which overlooks the harbour.

We are very, nay extremely, pleased to announce that we will be running a mini version of our festival in 2021, called Faversham Fringe-lite. Running over the last weekend of July (30th, 31st and August 1st), it will feature as many Faversham Fringe favourites as we can squeeze into the venue.
We’ll be taking over What Now?! at Baltic House, the bar and comedy venue on Standard Quay. It’s a fab little place, with lots of local drinks to sup and upstairs is a neat little room with a stage, lighting and sound. Perfect for fringe shows.
We’re programming the shows now, and we hope to unveil the programme by the end of June at the latest. There will be a mixture of Faversham Fringe favourites and some new faces, and maybe even some surprise guests…
Keep an eye on the Faversham Fringe website and social media pages for further announcements. You can find the festival on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Who remembers when Folkestone hosted the Grand Prix? Local resident Etelle De Baere shares her memories of the event at part of our Folkestone StoryMap: Your Stories project.
EDIT: this was a little April Fools’ joke, but only partly – there really was a Grand Prix in Folkestone, but it was for snails and not cars! Listen to the audio to hear the full story.
Here’s another story from our new Folkestone StoryMap: Your Stories project. This time it’s Neil Staveley sharing his memories of taking the ferry from Folkestone to Boulogne and back, without getting off the boat – the famous “non-landers”. Do you remember those?
