"Hosting live performances during Covid-19 seemed like a challenge, until we worked with Westgate Hall. The team had covered all the minutiae and thought of absolutely everything. The space transformed into the perfect backdrop for our social distanced events, providing ample space with a great atmosphere. We can't wait to return this year"

“Having a neutral, inclusive venue like Westgate Hall is a jewel in Canterbury city's crown. It's not always easy to find a venue that is so supportive and is truly community-focused. But here, it’s very much part of the fabric of how they do things. The team makes sure that absolutely everyone is welcome, everyone is equal and everyone has the opportunity to enjoy this exceptional space.”
