The town’s first annual festival of theatre and comedy!
Folkestone Live will be hosting 33 shows plus 2 cabarets, including stand-up comedy, plays, family entertainment, dance, music and sketch comedy. The festival will take place Friday 12th to Sunday 14th July at two venues, The Grand Burstin Hotel and the Quarterhouse Theatre (Saturday 13th only), both close to the town’s harbour, with tickets priced between £5 and £12, and £20 to £23 for a family of four.
Our thanks to Bostonian playwright, film maker and journalist Anthony Hill, Vita Paladino, Creative Folkestone’s festival fund, and to everyone who has contributed to our Go Fund Me campaign. Many thanks also to Folkestone & Hythe District Council for providing a day at the Quarterhouse Theatre, Radio Folkestone and Folkestone Rotary Club and Folkestone Town Council.
Tickets for our shows can be booked online via TicketSource using the QR Code or by visiting www.ticketsource.co.uk/folkestonelive Or by phoning: Theresa Burns +44 7495 524405
To gain access to the shows, proof of purchase will be required. If the show isn’t sold out, you can still purchase tickets on the day of any performance right up until the time that it is scheduled to start.
