What role does the shifting coastline play in shaping our collective dreams? Embark on a journey through the stories, creativity, and heritage that define the communities of three unique East Coast locations.
Explore the rich heritage of Great Yarmouth through the shared memories of local people. We will journey through time from the Ice House, to the Hippodrome and even the Winter Gardens. Along the way local people will share their memories that weave the vibrant tapestry that makes Great Yarmouth. From famous landmarks to forgotten places, fond memories will be brought back to life.
Beach of Dreams is a UK-wide coastal arts festival, presented by Kinetika, activating and exploring the unique heritage, cultures and climate futures of our coastlines.
Through immersive experiences of walking, heritage site visits, and creative expression, the project uncovers shared narratives and individual stories, while prioritising inclusivity. Working alongside diverse local groups, including those with access needs, it fosters connections across generations, amplifying voices that reflect the deep, evolving relationship between people and the ever-changing coast. The commission aims to gather 150 stories reflecting the area’s three stretches of coastline.
