Dreamland’s newly refurbished Hall By The Sea – which has seen music legends such as The Rolling Stones and The who perform – opens to the public tonight.

The iconic Margate venue, built under George Sanger’s ownership in 1870, will host this weekend’s By The Sea Festival.

Headlined by Super Furry Animals, Ivor Novello Award-winning Bat For Lashes and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker among others, the festival returns to Margate for the second year running.

Tonight’s grand reopening of The Hall By The Sea marks another milestone for Dreamland, and is part of the second phase of its rejuvenation.

Resort bosses say the venue will host a series of events from now into 2017.

Rebecca Ellis, Events and Programming Director – Dreamland Margate:
“We are absolutely thrilled to have a part of Phase 2 of Dreamland, the newly refurbished Hall By The Sea opening tonight for By The Sea Festival.

“A crucial part of Dreamland’s heritage, this iconic venue is a beautiful building that has seen the likes of the legendary Rolling Stones and The Who rocking the crowds.

“We are extremely excited to be hosting the festival for the second year running and we look forward to making more history with frequent events being held here.”
