Well hello, delicious.

Wonderful!

We are your Mergate directors, Daphna, Jason, & Amber.

This is only our second year and it already feels like Mergate has always been a part of the community. And that’s because of you - once again, you have massively turned up!

‘My face hurts from smiling so much’ is probably one of our favourite quotes of the day.

Our goal is to bring the community together through joy, play, and love for protecting our seaside. We also aim to support as many local artists, businesses, and charities as possible. We are thrilled to see this resonates with so many of you.

We are going through hundreds of photos and hours of footage. We promise to share more soon!

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN MERGATE 2024.

(Mergate is always the first Saturday in June, and so mark 7th June 2025 in your diaries now!)

With his highly-praised debut album ‘MRI’ one of the more impactful new releases of 2023, VC Pines has now announced his plans for a new UK tour, along with news of a physical vinyl release of his recent full-length.

After an already busy summer, which saw him perform at The Great Escape, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Rock Oyster Festival, Altitude Festival, Valley Fest, and Boardmasters, as well as recently finishing a ten-date run of live shows across the UK in recent months, VC Pines next tour will be in support of the new physical release of his debut LP ‘MRI’, which arrives on May 3rd, 2024.

With seven spots spread across the UK in May 2024, we are lucky to be one of them!

Urban Sketching/ Watercolour one day course in Margate on May 14th with more to follow.

‘My husband and I really enjoyed our watercolour course with Shelly. My husband as a complete beginner and myself learning how to extend my skills to urban sketching.
Shelly was so warm, friendly and welcoming and let us partake at our own pace.
By the end we were confident in the art of watercolour and inspired to continue on our art journey. We are eagerly anticipating our up and coming collage course with Shelly. She is so talented!!’

Join us for an engaging Urban Sketching/Watercolour Workshop where you can learn to capture the spirit of Margate with paint and pen!
