    • Sunny Dancer is a heartfelt, uplifting coming-of-age story about resilience, friendship and discovering how to live life to the fullest.

    After 17-year-old Ivy (Bella Ramsey) beats cancer, she can’t think of anything worse than becoming a Make-A-Wish kid. But when her parents send her to a summer camp for young people affected by cancer, Ivy struggles to fit in and rebels against the camp’s rules and expectations.

    Captioned subtitles will be available at the screening on Thu 17 Sep, 7pm.

    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.
