Maidstone International Arts Festival

Maidstone International Arts Festival is bringing together international, national and local performers and artists in an impressive range of activities. The theme of the Festival is the Planet Mars, as there is a crater on Mars named after Maidstone, and this not only provides a unique opportunity to bring together arts and science but also a focus for inspiration and engagement. Carl Sagan, astronomer says “Mars has become a kind of mythic arena onto which we have projected our Earthly hopes and fears.”
