    The new theater in Folkestone was built on land purchased by The Creative Foundation (De Hahn's arts & regeneration charity) some years ago. De Hahn & Nick Ewbank (CEO of the Creative Foundation) engaged various funding agencies to then assist with the costs of development, as well as long running discussions with Shepway DC to ensure planning was gained fairly painlessly.

    It is easy when you have a rich benefactor who puts a significant 8 figure sum into a vehicle to further regeneration as happened with the Creative Foundation, it becomes even easier when that money is matched by SEEDA (£5m) & the Arts Council (£10m) and in very short order too. Compare that with the years of grafting our council has had to engage in too get even a sniff of SEEDA money and other regeneration grants.
