Tours

From July to October 2025, Folkestone Triennial offered a series of guided tours that explored the artworks, ideas, and places shaping the festival. These included general tours led by knowledgeable guides, as well as Critic’s Tours offering insights from curators, art historians, and writers.

Tours took place outdoors across the town, with routes that sometimes included slopes, uneven ground, or narrow paths, reflecting Folkestone’s historic streets and landscape. While the tours have now concluded, information about the programme and the themes explored remains available as a record of the 2025 edition.

For current opportunities to explore Folkestone’s public art, or to discuss accessible routes, please contact the Box Office at info@creativefolkestone.org.uk.

The Critics’ Tours offered a deeper dive into the Folkestone Triennial 2025 artworks, providing insights into their connections with art history and the contemporary art world. These tours highlighted the ideas and perspectives that shaped the exhibition and offered audiences a closer look at the themes explored by the artists.
