An experience that's out of this worldThe Assembly Hall Theatre is running a six day programme to create an original rework of Orson Welles' famous War of the Worlds audio drama. On this journey, performers aged 13 to 19 will learn how to record speech and sound, create foley sound effects, develop voice acting and sound design, audio recording and radio production skills: an unmissable opportunity for young creatives with an interest in performing and media production.
The programme runs Monday 4 to Saturday 9 August 10am to 4.30pm at the Assembly Hall Theatre.

Got an awkward or bulky item to dispose of? Our bulky waste collection service will remove heavy or large items too big to fit in your bin. To visit the household waste recycling centre at North Farm you must book a slot in advance using the Kent County Council booking system.
Remember you can put old batteries out during your recycling collection week and small electrical items and textiles on your household waste collection week.
Check our waste and recycling pages for more information.
