Margate venue Faith In Strangers reopens for the first time since 2020

The venue has announced huge names to expect including Charlie Bones and Coco Maria

Faith In Strangers has just relaunched post-lockdown and has given music fans some exciting events to look forward to.

Faith In Strangers launched in April of last year, in the midst of various stints of COVID limitations and adjustments.

Based in the bustling town of Margate, the team has enlisted the help of a creative element of the local community as well as creatives nationally to put on a series of events to highlight the new facility and everything it has to offer.

Over the summer of 2022, music fans can expect to see some of the best-tipped selectors behind the decks at Faith In Strangers including Mafalda, Coco Maria, Charlie Bones, DJ Paulette, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Bill Brewster, Ashley Beedle, Luke Una, and George Fitzgerald.

Many of these DJs have had long-standing residencies and appearances at world-renowned clubs and festivals, so Faith In Strangers is excited to welcome them to the town of Margate to help get the venue rolling.

Alongside being a music venue, the space is looking into becoming a restaurant and workspace too.

Richard Randles, co-founder of Faith In Strangers says: "It’s been a long hard road, but now this feels like our proper launch. We’re really proud to have announced some great DJs and musicians to Margate this summer and there’s more that we’re still to announce!

"We’ve got a big old pipeline, with a lot more planned, but this feels like the beginning of something really special."

Adding to this, Jeremy Duffy, co-founder of Faith in Strangers says: "It’s incredibly satisfying to finally get onto implementing our vision with action rather than talk. Our first full launch party with Horse Meat Disco over the Easter weekend was everything I’d hoped for.

"It was a true discotheque. Super lovely and respectful crowd and staff team, a beautiful sunset and superb music late into the night. The recipe really does create a special and magical atmosphere."
