After the fun of our mini pop-up exhibition on Gravesend Town Pier in August 2025, we’re very excited to be bringing The Great British Summer Holiday Exhibition back for three weeks this summer to the Arts Centre.
Join us from Tuesday 30th June – Sunday 19th July at st George’s Arts Centre for a nostalgic look back to they heyday of the Great British Seaside holiday!
The exhibition features artwork from creatives in response to an open call, as well photographs, postcards, souvenirs, memorabilia and more…
Take your photo at our selfie station and enjoy reading about day trips in the Victorian era, the introduction of the summer holiday camp, to the resurgence of the popularity of the staycation in the early 2020s.
Alongside the exhibition we are excited to welcome Dr Kathryn Ferry back for her talk ‘Deckchairs, Piers and Souvenirs: The History of the British Seaside in 100 Objects’, as well as family workshops and a specially themed Get Creative workshop for adults.
