Quirky puppet shows, a pumpkin trail and live music are all part of a week bringing art and performance to a town for half term.

Ramsgate Town Council and Ramsgate Arts have joined forces for Ramsgreat Week until Sunday, November 1, featuring events, both live and online, art trails and gallery exhibitions.

The mostly free programme includes several Looping the Loop productions from circus skills for families and support bubbles at Archive Cafe, to quirky puppet show, The Sea Show at Royal Harbour Brasserie.

Other events include an artisan and vintage pop-up show Makers of Ramsgate organised by Molly Pickle Designs, Thanet’s first ever (and Covid-safe) pumpkin trail organised by local mum Ange Martin and Ramsgate Arts Barge’s live music event Busk on the Barge.

There are also nine public exhibitions including three artist homes as part of East Kent Artists’ Open Houses .

The event’s title is inspired by the word used to form the hugely successful public art piece Where I live at Ramsgate Royal Harbour Car Park - installed overnight in September by mysterious local artist, known as Mr Tear Gas. He said of the work: “This is art for everyone who sees it. It’s out on our streets, within our everyday, easily accessible and without financial inclination.”
