Our vision is to transform Dover by using the power of cultural initiatives to revitalise community spirit and civic pride, create vibrant spaces for self expression, make connections and foster wellbeing and economic growth through dynamic cultural activity. Connection is key. Whether it’s between organisations and individuals, people and the natural and built environment, heritage sites and new builds, establishing and fostering connections will sow the seeds for this strategy to have a lasting positive impact.

Culture acts as a catalyst for positive change, breathing life into forgotten spaces, attracting investment and building a resilient, thriving and diverse community where every individual feels connected, valued and inspired to contribute to a brighter future.
