The Friends of the Leas Pavilion

This iconic building, built in 1902 as a purpose-built, high class tea room, served for a long period as a repertory theatre and concert hall/club. It has remained empty and neglected for over 8 years.

The Pavilion is held in much affection by both local residents and past visitors. Close to the Road of Remembrance and the WW1 Memorial Arch, it is both a significant feature of local pride and a major visitor attraction, yet in its current state of deterioration the Pavilion fails to present the face of Folkestone we would wish to portray.

FLP aims to repair and restore the Pavilion to its former glory and make it available for community use. A restored Pavilion will also enhance the appearance of The Leas and will continue to make a significant contribution to the area.
