Peter Searles - Bolivia & Beyond

Jul 6 2013Jul 6 2013


Saturday 6 July 8pm (doors/bar 7pm)

Tickets £8 / £6 concs

For the past eight years Searles has toured his internationally acclaimed one-man shows about his extraordinary South American odyssey. Written by Peter Searles, directed by Stephen Frost.

"A stand-up storyteller par excellence, Searles is the diametric opposite of a pub bore... a combination of Bill Bryson's eye for the ridiculous and Rory Bremner's ear for mimicry” Metro

A1 Open Exhibition 2013

Jul 26 2013Aug 11 2013

Friday 26 July - Sunday 11 August 2013

Preview night - Thursday 25 July

Taking entries now

Our tremendously popular A1 Open exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to exhibit their artworks with over a hundred other artists. Places are on a first come, first served basis.

Representing all styles of art, mediums, techniques and themes this is an eclectic response from locals and those further afield to the brief of the A1 size, cohesively creating the largest exhibition of art in Whitstable.

Now in its 6th year, this unique open show allows that as long as work fulfils the brief of the A1 size, all artworks are accepted and displayed. The artist sets the price of their works and the centre takes no commission on works sold, entering a piece of work costs £30.

Conceptually the eclectic response to the brief of A1 and the acceptance of all work results in itself a single piece of work that we call the A1 Open.

The exhibition is well visited during the busy Oyster Festival, attracting over a thousand visitors daily.

Like all exhibitions at the Horsebridge Centre there is no admission fee.

The exhibition also features a busy preview night for all those that have submitted works.
