Napier Barracks to close
19 December 2025
By Tom Davies
We've been working in Napier Barracks in Folkestone for three years, delivering music workshops and creating the Band from the Barracks, which has performed at festivals in Hastings and Dover.
The Barracks has now closed, and last week, we held our final workshop there, as well as an event with residents and staff to mark the occasion.
We'd like to give huge thanks to our artists Ollie, Jonathan, Lucky and Alice for their hard work there these past years.
"[I] enjoyed different languages and cultures coming together and sharing with each other. So there's two hours of pure sort of happiness... a guaranteed sharing of happiness.”

“[The workshops have] a calming effect, the aftermath of it is that we're all calm, all the stresses and things seem to go out...”

We will have news of our upcoming work in new immigration detention spaces in the new year.
