Nightclub, café and creative coworking space, discover The Art Club in Dover, words by Jack Coleman

Make it your task this July/August to go and visit a Kent town that you’ve never been to before. Take in the sights, sounds, shops, arts and festivals. Take a punt.

In this issue, so many of our subjects did exactly that - stuck their neck out and said ‘let’s do it’. Former doorman turned musician Charlie Jeer did it, the team at The Art Club in Dover headed back to the high street when many told them not to, while photographer Chris McAndrew risked the wrath of a national newspaper during his first professional shoot!

Plus we take a stroll with ParkBathe, get addicted to tufting with Ellen Russell and discover Kent’s own cabinet of mysteries.
