You can reach the world from Dover 2023 Festival

'You can reach the world from Dover 'is a summer-long art festival in Dover running from  July to October 2023. The festival offers an extensive programme of bookable free walks, talks and screenings as well as public exhibitions and happenings.

Danny Bee will organise two Radical Dover walks for Dover Arts Developments You can reach the world from Dover Festival. Each walk is self contained - so no need to come to both but if you do decide to book for both there will be some variation.These will cover the surprising and often hidden radical history in the town of Dover caused by the industrial revolution and the development of global capitalism. They will cover the history of industrialisation in the town and the great changes this created. Starting with the Captain Swing riots of the 1830s the walks will look at the activities of the Suffragettes in the early part of the 20th century, the impact of the 1926 General Strike, the history of miners and seafarers strikes and more. The walks will also consider some of the architecture and how the shape of the town has changed over the past couple of hundred years.The walks will be of around two hours in length and will be accessible. The content will be pitched in a way that makes sense to a potentially diverse and mixed audience and attendees are encouraged to continue discussion in a relaxed atmosphere when the walk ends.Wear comfortable shoesDress appropriately for the weather and bring sun protection and water.Walks are limited to 25 people.All Festival walks are free thanks to our funders.
