About the Sandgate Sea & Food Festival

In September 2003, The Sandgate Society organised a firework display to start the weekend of the Folkestone Festival, including the Air Display. This was organised through the Tourism Department of Shepway District Council.
In 2004, it was decided by the Sandgate Society to hold a sea festival on the August Bank Holiday Monday and the theme would be Georgian with costumes hired from FODS. At this event there were stalls, a bouncy castle, a sea shanty band from The Ship Inn, along with the Providence Pub and the Rowing Club who were all involved. This event was so successful that in 2005, an independent committee was formed and the Sea Festival became an annual event, growing in size and popularity each year.
In 2010, a new very enthusiastic committee was formed to organise what proved to be a highly successful event despite the weather being cold and wet. This year will be no exception with even more entertainment and activities. |
