A FEW WORDS FROM OUR FOUNDER:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have sold out the UK Creative Festival this year – it’s a huge milestone that reflects just how vital and valued creativity is right now. Expanding the festival beyond Dreamland into Margate’s vibrant town, and growing our careers fair and wellness programme were all bold steps – and the response has been incredible. From world-class talks to street football on the beach, this year truly showcased creativity in all its forms. Most importantly, our Creative Careers Fair is providing real opportunities for young people to access a creative career — helping to open doors, build confidence, and show that this industry is for everyone.” Dina Green, Founder of the UK Creative Festival.
