This year’s highlights include acclaimed pianist Joanna MacGregor performing all of Beethoven’s 32 Sonatas, polyrhythmic jazz masters the Ivo Neame Quartet, Kent heroes Gentlemen of Few, comedian Hal Cruttenden and comedy troupe Slightly Fat Features. Our Talks and Science series returns with speakers including Kadie Kanneh-Mason, Bettany Hughes, Dr Patricia Fara on Isaac Newton, and Dr Kathryn Harkup on making Frankenstein’s monster. 

For families we have four fun half term events with a spooky show from Squashbox Theatre, five-star smash-hit Shakespearience, magician Professor Palmermoff, and Professor Simon Watt with Weird Life Under Water.
