All you have to do is to show up at the iconic Kursaal building on either 24 or 25 of August between 12-5pm bring your work and we will help you hang it wherever there is space.

The word Kursaal is German, meaning a "Cure Hall" or spa was adapted to mean a place of healthy amusement. The Kursaal was the world`s first ever theme park, pre-dating Coney Island in America. Designed by the architect Campbell Sherrin who is also known for the Brompton Oratory. The Kursaal ballroom had one of the finest dance floor in England, and was graced by some of the most famous bands and orchestras in the country. Ted Heath, Johnny Dankworth, Cleo Lane all graced the stage. Vera Lynn also began her singing career in the Kursaal Ballroom with the resident bandleader Howard Baker. Fanny and Johnny Craddock demonstrated cookery - badminton matches, boxing and indoor golf all took place in the Kursaal.
