Events this Month

There is an Exhibition of the Unknown Warrior at The Grand on Folkestone’s Leas this month. Entry is free.

                              

An evocative stained glass window is the centrepiece, with information provided on large panels, and a print of Lutyens’ original design for the Cenotaph.

The Exhibition is sponsored by The Grand and Step Short, Folkestone’s WW1 project to memorialise the Great War.

                                                  7th August 2011

There is great opportunity to see the Exhibition by coming along to the 3rd annual Step Short march. This has become increasingly popular and is attended by hundreds of people who participate in the march which follows in the footsteps of the millions of WW1 soldiers who left Folkestone Harbour for the Western Front. This year we will be joined by Veterans, military bands and The Gurkhas. Be part of this memorable event. Assemble at The Grand on The Leas before 10.30 am on Sunday 7 August 2011.
