The Music Workshop is a dedicated live-music venue and community space at 1B Town Walk in central Folkestone, Kent (CT20 2AD). Billed as 'Folkestone's home for live music and community events', it runs classes, workshops, jam sessions, karaoke and regular gigs open to all levels, and books touring and local artists across a wide range of genres — previous guests include Annie Whitehead, Poppy Prescott, Malcura, Chloe Slater and Hannah White. The stage has a house PA with full backline and an in-house engineer, plus the biggest indoor screen in town for its Friday-night karaoke (from 7pm) with cocktails and pizza. As a purpose-run music venue rather than a pub, it strongly welcomes original artists alongside covers — one of Folkestone's key grassroots stages.
