About Margate Arts Club

The Margate Arts Club is a joyful, DIY, inclusive, intersectional, community organisation. 
We have been running since 2015.
 
We have a world class sound system, set up with a nod to David Mancuso’s audiophile loft parties. The Arts Club feels like a psychedelic house party. Welcoming and friendly. 
 
We are home to a number of regular dance events, championing local DJs as well as attracting record selectors from around the globe. We are open to all genres, but focus on world music, afrobeat, Latin, Balkan, wonky synth, psychedelic, Jazz, (Italo) Disco, experimental electronica and soulful sounds. Come with an open mind and be prepared to listen to something new.
 
In addition to the dancing we have socials, gatherings, life drawing, classes, workshops, experimental music nights and a whole host of other community-focused projects.
 
We serve cocktails and a wide range of soft drinks.
 
We open our cute little garden between April – November.
 
Opening times
Friday 7pm-1am
Saturday 7pm-2am

Code of Conduct

We welcome and open our doors to anyone who is nice and respectful; radical free thinkers, artists, creatives, kinksters, left-wingers, socialists, environmentalists, supporters of equal rights and allies to the LGBTQIA+ community.
 
We do not tolerate racism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, xenophobia, ableism, ageism, body shaming, slut shaming, or misogyny.
 
Please do not enter the building if you do not agree or can not abide by the above. Have fun, go wild, be free, but respect each other’s boundaries. Ask for consent before touching anyone. This includes touching hair or surgical scars. Let people dance and talk in peace if they want to. Everyone deserves a night without being hassled or objectified. No means no.
 
If you ever have an unwanted interaction or micro-aggression, please inform a member of our team on the night, and we will deal with it straight away. Also, look out for each other. This is a community space, so let’s have each other’s backs and also check in on each other’s welfare.
