Kitchen Table
Pull Up a Chair: Join the Conversation at Sun Pier House
At Sun Pier House, we don’t want to just deliver arts and community events, we want to listen.
To truly be a community-driven organisation, it’s important that we hear from the people who use our space. That’s why we’re launching the Kitchen Table. It’s a simple idea: twice a year, we’ll invite you to pull up a chair and join the conversation.
Alongside our regular surveys and feedback forms, the Kitchen Table will give you a chance to tell us directly what you think. What do you love about Sun Pier House? What could be better? What creative activities, workshops, or events would you like to see more of in Medway?
We’re here to listen. And we’re here to learn.
Now that Sun Pier House is fully accessible, we want to welcome as many people as possible from across Medway. Families, artists, local residents, young people, older adults, and businesses, all are invited to take part.
Your ideas will help us build a creative, welcoming, and inclusive space that truly reflects the needs of our community. Together, we can shape the future of Sun Pier House.
How to get involved
Annual Community Survey
Every January, we’ll ask you for your thoughts through our community survey.
Bi-annual Kitchen Table Events
In Summer and Winter, join us in person to chat, share ideas, and tell us what matters to you.
Venue Hire Feedback
After every hire we invite you to complete a feedback form this information helps us improve our spaces and facilities, and supports our funding bids for improved equipment.
“I found the hospitality from the staff amazing and could not fault anything”
“Loved the fact that it was fully accessible. Beautiful location and space. Great support from staff.”
“We were so impressed with our visit. It snowed the night before which meant it was difficult for Sun Pier staff and our staff to get to the venue. Eight of us made it in person and the rest joined online via Teams. Heather had the room set up for us and we had a good lunch too. Thank you for enabling our event to go ahead as planned.”
“We simply adore working alongside all at Sun Pier House, you always make us feel so welcome we can’t imagine switching venues as we feel no where else will be as supportive.”
“From the setup to the atmosphere, everything was just perfect, and we received wonderful feedback from the attendees about the experience. Thank you for playing such a crucial part in making this event memorable”
“With regards to digital equipment, the use of a tv screen would help so that I could show a slideshow images or webpages“
