This 1550 m² performing arts & business centre is a key element of the arts-led regeneration of Folkestone spearheaded by client the Creative Foundation, a charitable trust. The Quarterhouse includes a 220 seat, 500 standing multipurpose auditorium for music, dance, theatre, film performances and conferences; ground floor foyer and exhibition space; first floor cafe/bar and a top floor business enterprise centre.

Alison Brooks Architects won the two stage national competition for the design of the Quarterhouse in December 2005. The design was developed through 2006, started on site in early summer 2007 and completed in February 2009. Funding for the project has come from a £3.5M grant from Kent County Council with a further £500,000 from the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA).

The Quarterhouse was conceived as both a 'beacon' announcing a new cultural hub for Folkestone, and as a modest 'bookend' building completing the curved east facade of late Georgian buildings that form Tontine Street.

The building's most prominent feature, the fluted mesh cladding illuminated from behind at night, took its inspiration from both the maritime iconography of Folkestone - scallop shell window pediments and seaside town paraphernalia - as well as the fragile and translucent texture of the scallop shells that arrive in Folkestone's harbour every day.

Folkestone's Fishing Heritage and History Museum provides a practical display inviting curiosity into a deeper understanding of Folkestone's fishing over the years.

The 'hands on' features foster a desire for involvement, and the ships bell and hand operated fog horn will appeal to youngsters. Tying knots, rope splicing, and how to breed meshes on a net can all be shown, and ropes are provided for those wishing to acquaint themselves with such skills.

Two visual displays show practical fishing in its widest sense, and many types of equipment in use. Conditions at sea and extreme weather are not avoided, so bringing the reality of the hazardous lives of fishermen in pursuit of food for our tables. There are rare stereo picture cards taken of vessels in Folkestone harbour when photography was in its infancy, and you can watch live ship movements in the English Channel, and hear comments from Dover Harbour Board and the Coast Guards on two marine radio receivers.

Open: refer to website for opening hours

Opening hours:
10.30 till 16.00 (subject to weather and staffing)

Cost: Free Entry

An exploration of the urban form of Folkestone by following a series of paths following the historic patterns of movement from edge to centre that have shaped the town.

Each walk produced a small folio of
imaginative drawings and diagrams,
which provided the agenda for lively
and passionate discussions between
the participants.

This book is a record of photographs
taken by participants during the
walks, together with reproductions
of the drawings and diagrams
made afterwards and notes of the
discussions held in the Urban Room.
