I have been lucky enough to be awarded a grant by the RSA to run a short festival on 10 evenings from 7th - 18th April, in Kingston Market House in the Market Place. The aim is to show how local individuals and community groups could use this historic central Kingston venue to help to improve and diversify Kingston's evening culture, and also to encourage the Council to make it easier and cheaper for the community to use this space.
There will be discussions and debates, talks, workshops etc, open to anyone who cares to come along, and free. My award is enough to cover the hire of the large room in the Market House and some publicity. There are still some evenings available (Fri 11, Tues 15, Wed 16, Fri 18) if anyone local or any of your contacts would like to put on an event. Please see www.markethousefestival.org.uk for more information. I hope some of you will come along to and enjoy the Festival events.
