ECOustic Sessions

ECOustic Sessions celebrates nature, music, and Folkestone’s beautiful surroundings, while exploring a greener, more sustainable future.

The event brings together live music, talks, and performances from some of Folkestone’s finest artists, alongside contributions from the Green Party. Highlights include a unique presentation by Ruth Canning, using the sounds of plants, and Andy Holbrook, whose music raises awareness of plastic pollution in our oceans, climate change, and the impact these issues have on our lives.

Join us for this free event — spaces are limited, so please register for tickets in advance.
