Folkestone Queer History Guided Walk

 
 

In March 2024, we hosted a guided walk on the queer history of folkestone

Starting with the fantasy castle of eccentric Sir Philip Sassoon, to the über-cool home of pop artist Mark Lancaster, via the birthplace of naturalist and author Jocelyn Brooke, and the theatres and hotels that hosted a range of GLBTQ creatives from Oscar Wilde to Radclyffe Hall.

We are producing a booklet including the route we took so you can follow along yourself; if you would like us to lead another walk, get in touch!
