Ten Doors to Go! Embracing the spirit of togetherness in Folkestone

  • Résumé

  • As we cross the halfway mark of the Folkestone Living Advent Calendar, host Clare Reeves brings you closer to the heart of this festive journey, with just 10 days left until Christmas!

    This week has been a whirlwind of diverse performances, ranging from variety shows to cabaret. Clare has been on the ground, podcast mic in hand, capturing the essence of these spectacular events.

    Listen to the sounds of a silent disco and chance to let go behind door 7 and a musical improv performance behind door 11. Plus we hear from Napier Friends community manager Vic Nelson as she explains how your donations will support refugees this Christmas.

    With 14 doors opened, Clare checks in with Sadie and Marin from Jim Jam Arts and Lady Christmas to get their insights on organizing this 24-day Christmas festival. They reflect on the ongoing success, the growing crowds (despite the rain!), and the joy of bringing the community together in celebration.

    We take a moment to recognise the emotional impact of the event and hear from Lady Christmas as she reveals the locations of the doors for next week.
