Fringe Learns: Company Structure and Governance for Creatives

Company Structure and Governance for Creatives with Lindsay Stockley of Culture Rise

• Date: Tuesday 3rd March 2026 (full-day)

• Location: Folkestone Yacht & Motor Boat Club, The Harbour, North St, Folkestone CT19 6AF

This year's Fringe programme brought awareness to the increasing pressure of operating in a depleted funding landscape and charged political climate. Artists are feeling the pinch and having to make difficult decisions about if and how their practice moves forward.

In response, we are offering 15 local creatives the opportunity to participate in a fully funded 1-day training programme (normal cost £150 per person).

The training is a collaboration between Folkestone Fringe and Lindsay Stockley.

Lindsay is a certified business coach, senior arts professional and the founder of Culture Rise. More information here.

Who Can Attend?
Creatives who currently live or work in Folkestone.
