Transform Culture.
Creative Town Hall returns to Margate on a mission!
The Creative Town Hall returns to Margate on a mission to talk about how we can , and should , be using our creativity to transform places, communities and industries.
This is bigger than a poster, folks. And it's thinking beyond the M25. This is transforming our culture.
Leading the conversation will be:

-

-
Lorraine Cox - Director, Creative Estuary
After the panel, we’ll wrap things up with relaxed networking drinks, giving you time to mingle, swap ideas, and keep the creative energy flowing.
Expect big ideas, fresh perspectives, and the chance to chat while surrounded by world‑class art and those unmistakable seaside views.
