More on 'The Skep'
At the heart of Skep Arts is The Skep itself. A meeting place. A timber frame and Kent peg roof under which to plan and celebrate local arts and global culture. A humble barn with a ramshackle stage and welcoming wood burner that provides Skep Arts a spot to devise, plot and occasionally host artistic endeavours: music, theatre, film and spoken word.
