It has been a fun packed summer for our younger audience so far, with Young Makers summer holiday Club, Wild about Whitstable week and craft session with Debbie from Cygnini Crafts.
During Wild about Whitstable week the challenge as set ... can you capture the Wild World of Whitstable with a photograph? We can now announce the winners!
We are really excited to share some huge improvements to our Studio and Hub spaces and if you have been following our socials you may have had a sneak peek of these exciting changes. Thanks to funding from FCC Communities Foundation we have been able to install purpose built storage and refreshment facilities in these two spaces.
We need to say a big thank you to visitors, friends, artists and bidders for a wonderful fundraising art auction. We were able to raise an incredible amount, but it wouldn't have been possible without our staff team and volunteers and we wanted to thank them particularly.
Our volunteers programme has always been a vital part of The Horsebridge providing help with everything from reception desk cover to ushering at film matinees, website design to delivering flyers and so much more in between.
This support works both ways though.
At The Horsebridge we provide a large variety of arts based activities and central to our work is ensuring that no-one feels excluded from participating in the arts, now we need your help to keep achieving this.
On Wednesday we held the first of our Wild Escape Whitstable creative workshops inspired by some of the more surprising animals found in the Whitstable Community Museum.
