Folkestone Living Advent Calendar
Join in with Folkestone’s unique real-life advent calendar experience by tuning in to The Folkestone Living Advent Calendar podcast! From the laughter and friendship behind each door, to the stories of the people and places that are truly Folkestone - this podcast is your personal invitation to experience the magic of the season. Every day throughout December a door will be opened in the Kent seaside town revealing a Christmas surprise! Folkestone resident Clare Reeves is our host. She’ll be speaking with the creators and organisers, discovering more about the cherished venues that bring the advent calendar to life and the charities that benefit. The Folkestone Living Advent Calendar podcast is a celebration of community spirit and festive goodwill. In each episode, we'll reveal the upcoming week's door locations, hear interviews with those who make the event possible and highlights from the week’s advent adventures. Whether you're a Folkestone local or a lover of Christmas cheer from afar, tune in to experience the magic. This weekly podcast will be released each Friday from November 17 until December 22, 2023. Subscribe now and become a part of our living advent calendar — where every door opens to a story, and every story opens the heart.
