Theatre in the Park
The foundation offers a unique opportunity to enjoy live theatre and music in the open air. Set within 14 acres of beautiful gardens, it is the only amphitheatre in Kent that is purpose built to offer total access to able-bodied and disabled people both as audience and performers. The theatre is run entirely by volunteers and profits from ticket sales, raffles and refreshments are donated to the Strode Park Foundation for Disabled People, an independent voluntary organisation and registered charity no 227794.

WEDG is the Development Education Centre (DEC) for East Kent. We engage with schools, universities, community groups and other educators in East Kent to promote awareness of people from different countries and cultures as well as better understanding of issues such as sustainable development and social justice. One of the ways we achieve this is through arts based workshops such as East African fabric painting, Chinese calligraphy or Playground Games from around the World to schools and community groups.
