A new trust to keep Margate creative
Margate is home to a burgeoning creative community and has been identified as a key production hub within the Thames Estuary Production Corridor.
Whilst creative businesses have grown by 158% since 2009, Margate has lost 11% of its commercial spaces in the last 20 years. When coupled with rising rents for the remaining eligible spaces and a lack of appropriate venues for the variety of artistic pursuits, there is a vital and urgent need to provide space to creative practitioners in order to protect and grow the creative industries in Margate.
