Special Holidays/Seasons

ARK is a charity based in the former Margate synagogue, in the heart of Cliftonville West in Thanet, Kent.

A welcoming, accessible, inclusive, cultural and social resource, which brings together Cliftonville’s diverse communities - a space where people can experience ambitious live performance and exhibitions; thought-provoking film screenings; food events and workshops that are open to everyone.

ARK is also a place to hold weddings, celebrations and other events; where you can rehearse your show and hold meetings; a space for film and fashion shoots.

Above all, this space reflects the diverse roots and identities of all those who call Cliftonville home – both now and when the synagogue was built.

Through empathy, respect, inclusion, collaboration and open-mindedness, ARK want to make Cliftonville a better place for everyone.
