Revelation ‌‌‍(Revelation St Mary's) is a 350-capacity music and arts venue set in the beautifully restored St Mary's Church in the centre of Ashford, Kent (The Churchyard, TN23 1QG). Parts of the building are 13th century, with major 15th- and 17th-century additions and a thousand years of history; it still functions as a place of worship. Created in 2011 with backing from St Mary's Church, Ashford Borough Council and Arts Council England, it programmes music, folk, theatre, talks, storytelling, children's shows and films, with a licensed bar and free evening parking nearby. Past performers include Maddy Prior, Gaz Coombes, Jon Boden and This is The Kit, alongside touring tributes such as the Just Floyd Pink Floyd show.
