The new Festival of Sound will also include a collection of sound installations in the town multi storey car park, a trip back in time on the Cervia Steam Ship and some wartime nostalgia with a twist in the Ramsgate Tunnels.

Further announcements will be made in the next few weeks including an official call out for artist participation and volunteers.
