Presented by Canterbury Shakespeare Festival

Canterbury, autumn 1065. As the ‘saintly’ King Edward lies dying, the mood in Hilda’s mead hall is dark.

Behind the scenes, Queen Edith schemes with corrupt clerics to save herself – and thwart the ambitions of her hated brother Harold. A new play by Stewart Ross.

In conjunction with the Canterbury Commemoration Society.

Address: Lanfranc Studio Theatre, EKC Canterbury College,  New Dover Rd, Canterbury CT1 3AJ

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
