Thank you to everyone that came and joined us on Sunday. We had a wonderful (if rainy) afternoon!
For those who may have missed it, we have launched a crowdfunder to help support The Folkestone Living Advent Calendar 2026!

We know times are very tough for everyone right now but if you are able to spread the word, tell a friend or give a little, we would be so grateful!

Autumn is just around the corner! The nights are drawing in, there's a slight chill in the air and the shelves are starting to fill up with festive confectionery…. which must mean one thing. Christmas is coming!

We are sorry to say that this year there will be no Folkestone Living Advent Calendar. We have come to the end of 3 years of funding from the National Lottery Community Fund which we are extremely grateful for. We will be taking this year to re-group, reflect and plan for a glorious festive 24 day adventure in 2026.

In the next few months we will be starting a sponsorship scheme where local businesses can get involved. If you or someone you know is able or interested in being a sponsor, please do get in touch.

Now for a bit of good news! Although there will be no Advent Calendar this year, we won’t be leaving you without any entertainment this December. We have partnered with the Harbour Arm to put on a one-day festive foray with performances from some Folkestone Advent Calendar Favourites! More details soon!
