It is with much regret that we have to announce the closure of the Swale Media Arts Centre on 4th April 2025.

Difficulties in extending our current lease at 34 High Street, Sittingbourne has meant that we have been unable to raise sufficient funds to allow us to continue in the medium and longer term at that site.

We do hope to be able to continue some of our community based work at other venues in the Town so please keep an eye on our social media.

By the time we close, we will have been operating for nearly 4 years and we want to thank all those who have given their support to the Centre during that time, we have enjoyed working with some wonderful groups and individuals and sharing activities and events with other organisations across Swale.

A special thank you goes to all our dedicated volunteers who have been a joy to work with, many of whom we hope will still be working with us in the future. And of course to local people for their support.

Meanwhile, we do have a couple of events/shows taking place, so please pop in and see us if you are passing. At present we have some real bargains on display.

We will be selling many of the items from the Centre as we will have to clear the building by the 4th April. If any organisation, or residents, would be interested in purchasing items please get in touch or keep an eye on this site for adverts.

Very best wishes

Swale Media Arts Centre Team.
