Canterbury Festival         

11-25 October 2008

Welcome...

The Canterbury Festival is Kent's International Arts Festival and each year features over 200 events across the art forms in venues throughout Canterbury and the surrounding areas.

The Festival would like to say a big thank you to all who have given such wonderful comments on the 2007 Festival events that they have enjoyed and for all the sponsors, supporters and volunteers who help to make the Festival possible each year.

The 2008 Festival programme will be announced here in July.  To receive a FREE Festival brochure with full details on all Festival events please join our mailing list.

See our Festival News page for the latest developments at the Festival.

Festival Summer Show

Tickets Onsale Now for Stephen Frost's Improv Allstars

Thursday 5 June
7.30pm


Following their sell-out performance at last year’s festival, Canterbury Festival is delighted to welcome Stephen Frost and friends – Andy Smart, Jim Sweeney, Steve Steen and Richard Vranch – back for another hilarious mad-cap night of improvisation. You shout it out and these veterans of Whose Line is it Anyway will act it out!


Fast, funny and furious, these guys are masters of the game and guarantee a night of good honest belly laughter not to be missed.

To Book visit the Marlowe Theatre website or call 01227 787787.
