SATURDAY 18th SEPTEMBER, in support of Folkestone’s Step Short World War 1 Project

£10.00 on day (No prebooking) On site from 7am Open 8am - 3pm

After a year full of uncertainty about the future of the Leas Lift which was a concern to Folkestonians and Victorian engineering enthusiasts across the country - the new Leas Lift management will now be celebtating its 125 year birthday over the weekend of Sat 18th and Sun 19th Sept.

A number of local artists, entertainers and other events are planned including a Vintage car rally on Sunday at the lower arena.

If you would like to support this celebration weekend as a performer, face painter, acoustic band - please do contact Eamomn to get details (all support will be in a voluntary capacity as unfortunately the Leas Lift will not be able to make any payments).

Eamomn is also seeking any employees of the Lift going back through the years as they would be welcome to come along and tell their story and perhaps have a reunion.
