Medway Council’s arts and heritage webpage acts as a one-stop directory for residents and visitors seeking cultural events, historic places, venue hire and creative funding across the borough.
The council’s Arts and Heritage page is the place to go for booking theatre tickets, exploring historic sites and finding out what’s on across Medway. It also signposts funding through the Medway Heritage Place project, backed by The National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Heritage Places initiative.
Right in the middle of Rochester sits the Corn Exchange — hireable for weddings, parties, musical events and business functions. And if you want a broader sweep of what’s happening locally, links through to Visit Medway cover the wider picture.
Creative Medway — described as the Cultural Compact driving Medway’s Cultural Strategy — features prominently on the page, with an open invitation for people to get involved. There’s also a subscription option for the Medway Arts Team e-newsletter. Handy, if you’d rather not go looking every time.
A section on creative sector support points public-funded organisations, professional bodies, trusts, foundations and individual artists towards advice and assistance. Records of past arts festivals and events held in Medway are there too, for anyone wanting to dig into what’s gone before.
The page sits within a wider set of council resources available at medway.gov.uk.
