**Ramsgate’s Alley Bar is taking a little break for the summer**. It will **reopen on September 11**, when it hosts the Ramsgate Festival of Sound Late with **Lunatraktors** at 10pm. The folk-electronica act will perform an experimental cabaret version of Timeweavers, an accessible theatre piece that is currently in development. [**Tickets from £20**](https://www.screamingalley.co.uk/event-details-registration/lunatraktors-present-timeweavers?ref=strangetourist.co.uk).

**Margate Winter Gardens will be opening up its gardens on August 22-23** for a weekend of fun. On the Saturday, there will be live music, DJs, performances, food and pop-up bars. The Sunday will be family focussed, with giant bubbles, balloon modelling, puppets, storytellings, martial arts, family yoga and more. **Full details to be announced soon. Free entry**. 

**Artist Emily Peasgood is showing community artwork This is England at St George’s Church in Ramsgate until Saturday, August 22**. The 20 feet wide, 12 feet tall piece made from reclaimed flags was created by 72 volunteers at a series of workshops earlier this year. The aim was to see if the English flag could be transformed from what has become a devise symbol into something that represents everyone who lives here. **Emily is currently** [**crowdfunding to take This is England on tour**](https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/this-is-england-flag-project?ref=strangetourist.co.uk) **around the country**. 

**The Junkoactive Wasteman** is set to bring his particular brand of EBM (electronic bean music) to **Where Else in Margate on Saturday, September 12**. The rubbish-clad singer and his trash-adorned bandmates The Tin Can Twins will be enthusing about baked beans for your pleasure. If this has left you feeling confused and unsettled, perhaps listen to new single [I Eat Baked Beans Every Day](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX5KWJ25RQA&ref=strangetourist.co.uk) will help. Perhaps not. [**Tickets £12**](https://www.gigantic.com/the-junkoactive-wasteman-the-tin-can-twins-tickets/margate-where-else/2026-09-12-19-00?ref=strangetourist.co.uk).
