The programme of events includes music, comedy and theatre, with performers from across the globe.
David Sefton, Artistic Director of the Gulbenkian says: ‘We were genuinely thrilled with how well our launch season went in the face of everything it was up against. Now we’re pushing the programme into new territory with a season of vital, timely and brilliant work. I am incredibly proud of this year and delighted at what we will bring to Kent in the coming year.’
