Quarterhouse

A regenerated Folkestone needs a night life, a social hub which brings
people together to eat, relax and be entertained. In March 2009
Quarterhouse, Folkestone’s new performing arts and business centre opened in
the heart of the Creative Quarter and has quickly become one of the region's
most exciting venues.

Quarterhouse hosts a year-round programme of live music nights, performing
arts events, films screenings and stand up comedy for audiences up to 450
people standing or 250 seated.

The flagship building won a RIBA award for architecture in 2009 and makes a
striking addition to the Creative Quarter with a contemporary exterior,
which is illuminated at night, and stunning internal spaces. The stylish bar
and restaurant on the first floor is run by Vasa and is open every day.

The venue houses a top floor business suite with offices and meeting rooms
available to let or for hire and the auditorium space is also available for
hire for gigs, events and conferences.

Construction of the £4.4 million building was funded by Kent County Council,
SEEDA, Arts Council England and Shepway District Council on a site owned by
The Creative Foundation.
