kollectiv is the art centre we opened in JUNE 2024 located on 69 Old High Street (right next to BANKSY). It’s full of life, wonder, diversity, and ideas and we invite you to visit our space as many times as possible as it is a fluid organism with changing internal geography. 

sometimes, you’ll find an invitation to participate in a happening or an installation. other times, you’ll enjoy a quiet time over a glass of wine. you might want to talk about something very important and meaningful, and we’re happy to join you in this conversation. or you might want to meet new people - there will be events accommodating that desire, too.

we love kollectiv dearly. we love that it has a bar and a cafe, so you can literally spend your whole day here. we don’t serve food, but have plenty of restaurants around and you’re welcome to order a take-away to eat at ours from our friends from Bella Vita next door or the best Thai from Wok in the Box just across the street.

Start your day upstairs with your laptop and finish it downstairs singing jazz classics, crying over independent European drama, expanding your mind during an expert talk, or widening your eyes at some of the best art you’ve ever seen in Folkestone.

kollectiv is like nowhere else and to keep it going, we need you, so

join kollectiv

let’s do it together
