A space for ideas and art in Chatham

Loading...

Welcome to Sun Pier House

We’re a not-for-profit organisation, working to support artists and creative industries in Medway.

Sun Pier House CIC was formed in 2013 to support Medway’s unique creative culture. We offer a base for established and start-up artists to develop their practice, and we deliver a varied exhibition and arts programme.

Split over three floors our art space is home to artist studios, an exhibition gallery, events space, hire rooms, cafe and workshop space – all enjoying a glorious panoramic view of the River Medway.

What’s On

There’s normally always something new happening at Sun Pier House, but while we concentrate on L!FT OFF, our what’s on page will be all about alternative local events.

Community arts projects

We programme, collaborate and commission loads of super duper arts events for all ages and abilities. We like to join the dots between artists/makers and the public.

Artist studios

A centre for creativity, Sun Pier House has 24 artists studios, providing a base to a stop-motion animator, a milliner, a tattooist and many more practitioners!

A place to test ideas

We have a large Gallery, Cafe and dedicated Community Hire Space available to host all types of events, classes, workshops, meetings, celebrations…

Introducing L!FT OFF – an ambitious and transformative capital project

We (finally) started the building works in June 2024 and we are expecting that the project will continue for 6 months.

We plan to open the doors of Sun Pier House to all people, of all abilities, to create, engage and inspire in 2025 with an exciting new programme of events and activities.
