Kiss Me Quick!Seaside Memories

Sarah Baulch Gallery - Mortimer Street Herne Bay

FREE EVENT

 The East Kent Ensemble are bringing a bit of seaside nostalgia to life this summer for the
Herne Bay Festival. A joyful, insightful and cheeky celebration of our relationship with the
Great British seaside is revealed through original stories…
A bucket-full of diverse readings, monologues, plus a new short play – professionally produced,
written and performed, alongside participants from the wonderful community of Herne Bay
expressing their own words. Come and soak up the stories at this fabulously original
presentation, all performed against the backdrop of Sarah Baulch’s fabulous ‘sea-fest’ of fine
art!

Sunday, 16th August – showing at 2pm and again at 5pm.
 No tickets, just turn up – suggested donation of £5 

Not suitable for Children Under 10
