From Charles Dickens to Billy Childish - Medway has a rich history of avant-garde art and artists as well as a thriving modern day arts scene. Medway Arts Tours combine art forms to offer unique, authentic, bespoke cultural experiences. Eclectic, edgy and tough, the people, architecture and landscapes of Medway are a rich source of artistic inspiration. An accurately costumed and informed historical Medway character welcomes you. They act as the living bridge, revealing the past that has informed Medway today. You then participate in a workshop, led by one of Medway's present day leading-edge artist practitioners.Â
From arts and crafts, fashion and photography to live performance, the range of workshops on offer has something for every taste. Each package includes a tasty something - a revelation or an unexpected discovery from this dynamic maritime part of the world. Be part of the fascinating past and creative present of the five Medway towns of the Creative Estuary - Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham & Rainham.
Medway Arts Tours are bespoke, pre-booked daytime culture experiences. Booking, where possible, is for your preferred choice of date and time. Generally running times are 4 hours for each experience. Recommended timings are 1pm to 5pm, but can accommodate bookings at alternative times if desired.
