One of the county’s biggest arts festivals is now up and running, boasting large-scale installations and contemporary pieces.
Crowds of visitors have been flocking to the Kent coast to explore this year’s Folkestone Triennial, which opened to the public on Saturday, July 19.
The theme for this year’s three-month festival is How Lies the Land and delves into the geology and geography of the seaside destination, dating back to the Stone Age.
It features pop-up exhibitions in locations across town, such as old railway lines, empty buildings, coastal paths and public spaces.
Visitors can admire work by 18 different artists, including Céline Condorelli, Emilija Škarnulytė, Hanna Tuulikki, Katie Paterson, Rae-Yen Song and Sara Trillo.
The festival takes place every three years, although this year’s event was postponed for a year to give organisers a chance to improve Folkestone’s infrastructure and transport links.
It’s all free to attend and will be open until Sunday, October 19, including the school holidays.
