UPCOMING EVENTS
STUART RAYNER
2nd August - 10th August 2025
Margate-based artist Stuart Rayner presents a solo exhibition of new paintings, drawings and ceramics that explore the emotional resonance of nature, memory, and domestic life. Drawing from an art historical lineage of modernist painters, Rayner’s work amplifies the possibilities of human connection through the painted surface. Combining tender, impressionistic forms with vibrant colours, he brings natural elements into cubist-inspired compositions designed for reflection and care. Through gentle, intimate scenes the exhibition offers a poetic glimpse into the artist’s relationship with others and the natural world, embracing fleeting moments and quiet interactions.

SEASIDE TO CITY TOUR
1st August 2025
Join songwriters Poppy Prescott and Meg Bird for a special co-headline show at Folklore.
Both artists split their time between the seaside and London, bringing their heartfelt songwriting to the coast and city as they travel and perform together. Expect an intimate evening of stories and melodies from two rising voices on the independent music scene.
Poppy Prescott
Hastings-born singer-songwriter Poppy Prescott has a gift for drawing even the rowdiest crowds to silence with her soft, soulful vocals and folk-style storytelling. Growing up surrounded by musicians, she was performing live long before she was technically allowed in music venues. Highlights of her career include sold-out performances at The Troubadour and Two Palms, festival appearances at WOMAD, and scholarships to Richard Thompson’s New York guitar camp and Chris Difford’s songwriting retreat. With guitar influences like Adrienne Lenker and Nick Drake, and a love for Radiohead and Sam Amidon, her sound blends introspection with experimentation. She performs alongside a stellar band: Dan McConkey (sax), Harry Osborne (bass), Keir Tyson (guitar), Liam Talbot (keys), and Josh Walker-Martin (drums). Her EPs Grand Gestures (2022) and Reasons Why (2023) earned airplay on BBC Radio 6 and praise from Tom Robinson.
Meg Bird
London-born and Margate-based, Meg Bird is a singer-songwriter known for her emotionally rich songwriting, soulful voice, and whimsical lyricism. Blending jazz harmony with contemporary songwriting, Meg explores complex themes with warmth, humour, and depth. Her music is equally at home in jazz clubs and grassroots venues. Whether accompanied by a full rhythm section or playing solo on keys, Meg’s performances are immersive and story-driven, shaped by her background in jazz and her love of language. A first-class graduate of the Guildhall School of Music, Meg released her debut album Girls Like Lions in 2021, earning praise and airplay on BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM. In 2024, she followed with a series of singles titled Of Hope, showcasing her ever-evolving sound and artistry.
SUPERMODERN ROMANCE II
12th August - 25th August 2025
Ramsgate-based artist Narisara Jirojananukun brings Supermodern Romance II to Margate, continuing the quiet, heartfelt journey that began with her first show in London.
This new series of prints and one-off pieces captures fleeting moments of connection — those split-second sparks that ripple through everyday spaces with a quiet current of energy.
Together, they weave a loose web of vignettes: scenes that feel both familiar and just out of reach, reminding us how easily we overlook the flickers of meaning when our paths cross.
Supermodern Romance II is less about grand statements and more about tuning in to the small things that make any moment worth a second look.
