Creative Medway explains about their plans…
Our vision for Festival 2024
Creative Medway is a lead partner for Festival 2024, Medway’s year-long programme of cultural events and activity next year. The festival is our Cultural Strategy in action. It is being created for, with and by Medway communities to showcase our rich history, creativity and ambition!
What do we want to achieve?
We have so much to be proud about in Medway. Festival 2024 is all about inviting people to take part in creative activity right where they live across Medway’s towns and villages. It’s also about attracting visitors to boost our cultural tourism economy and building our national cultural reputation.
What’s the festival about?
Our starting point for the programme is the 40th anniversary of Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust and the cultural regeneration of the Dockyard site as well as the 40th anniversary of Medway African and Caribbean Association.
What’s Creative Medway’s role?
Creative Medway are leading a group to shape the festival programme with the sector. We already have a new largescale cultural volunteering programme launching and opportunities for young people interested in creative careers. There are events planned across the Peninsula, our highstreets and on the river. The rest is down to you!
How can I get involved?
This is an open invitation to Medway’s cultural communities and creative sector to submit work as part of the Festival 2024 programme.
