Are you ready for Turner? That’s the question being put to local businesses.
With the opening of Turner Contemporary expected to attract thousands of visitors to the area, a business breakfast meeting is being held for businesses based in Margate, Northdown Road and Westbrook. Being held at Turner Contemporary on Tuesday 29 March from 7.00am until 8.30am, it’s a chance to find out all about the plans in the final four weeks before the gallery opens on Saturday 16 April.
Vice Chair of the Turner Contemporary Trust, Clive Stevens will be offering a sneak peek of what visitors to Turner can expect in its opening week. There will also be updates on the events set to take place in Margate and how the council is planning to help clean up the town.
This meeting is part of a series of events which have been organised in association with Margate Town Partnership specifically for local businesses in the run up to the opening of Turner Contemporary.
If you are a business based in Margate, Northdown Road or Westbrook and would like to attend, please e-mail sharon.sebastian@thanet.gov.uk or call 01843 577182.
Director of the Margate Renewal Partnership, Derek Harding, said: “It’s so important to talk to and involve local businesses in the exciting count down to the opening of Turner Contemporary. Having a world famous art gallery in the town is likely to generate a significant increase in visitor numbers which will have an impact on local businesses. I hope that anyone with a business in the Margate area will take this opportunity to find out more and look forward to seeing them there”.
