SHOWCASE
Nucleus ArtsFests are free one-day festivals
celebrating the arts and creativity in Chatham.
These follow on from the success of the last
three-year’s celebrations. The festivals will include
live music, theatre, dance, contemporary street
theatre, poetry, film and the visual arts,
showcasing professional and amateur artists with
a particular focus on artists who are connected
with the Medway towns. There will also be artisan
markets, workshops and open studios to keep
you busy while you are there.
The ArtsFests will be held in Chatham on Saturday
16th May, 13th and 20th June, 11th July, and
19th September 2015. The acts will mostly be
performing at Nucleus' main Chatham Centre at
272 High Street, with some acts roaming through
the town centre. Headline acts already confirmed
include Jamie Johnson (Kylie Minogue’s finalist
from last year’s The Voice on BBC1), Lupen
Crook, Ben Richards, Ella Halpern-Matthews,
and Halcyon.

The Nucleus ArtsFest highlights the work Nucleus
Arts has done to promote the arts in the area,

local community. Nucleus Arts is full of inventive,
progressive ideas, and insists on collaboration,

heart of Kent and Medway. This year’s festival
will continue to strengthen these themes, and

Mid Kent College, University of Kent, SupaJam,
and the Royal Engineers Museum, amongst
others.
