Medway Council’s online arts and heritage page brings together theatre, historic venues, creative sector support and funding links in one place for residents, visitors and artists.
Medway Council runs a dedicated arts and heritage web page that pulls together theatre tickets, historic venues, local events and funding guidance — all in one place, for residents, visitors and anyone working in the creative sector.
The Rochester Corn Exchange gets a prominent billing. Described as a unique venue in the heart of Rochester, it’s available for weddings, parties, and musical and business events. The page also flags the Medway Heritage Place project, which ties into The National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Heritage Places initiative and connects the area to organised heritage funding at a national level.
For artists and organisations, Creative Medway and its Cultural Compact are the main draw. The compact is driving Medway’s Cultural Strategy, and the page invites creatives to find out how to get involved. Public funded organisations, professional bodies, trusts and foundations are also listed as sources of advice and support for those working across the area.
Residents can sign up to the Medway Arts Team’s e-newsletter for regular culture and heritage updates. There’s also a section covering past arts, festivals and events, which is exactly as useful as it sounds.
Visit Medway is the signposted destination for anyone wanting to know what’s actually on right now.
The page includes a feedback form for flagging spelling mistakes, out-of-date information or broken links — though it asks users not to leave personal details, pointing anyone who needs to contact a service to the main Medway Council contact page.
