And… we’re planning more: if you have a great idea, please get in touch!

Folkestone Performing Arts Company [FPAC] is our resident theatre group!
Longer term, the team are planning a small, independent venue for performing artists [professional & non-professional theatre-makers, dancers, musicians, etc]
FPAC supports three main strands of work:

• professional training workshops for performance craft and programmes to create new work for audiences in Southeast Kent.
• weekly community theatre workshops
• writing development programmes

FPAC is rapidly becoming a creative force at the heart of our community, inspiring locals of all ages to take creative risks to shape the future and stir social change.

We are proud to host FPAC at Sunflower House.

Sunflower House supports a number of opportunities for refugees who live in our community, wherever they may come from. We offer meeting and workshop space and proudly welcome the Ukrainian Community School as one of our family.
The idea of CORES is simple: a place which provides learning and development for those who have had to leave their home to seek a new life.

If we break it, we are all undone.’
