The Great British Summer Holiday Exhibition – Memories Call Out

After the fun of our mini pop-up exhibition on Gravesend Town Pier in August 2025, we’re very excited to be bringing The Great British Summer Holiday Exhibition back for two weeks this July to the St George’s Arts Centre, and we’d love for you to be part of it!

The exhibition will run from Tuesday 7^th – Sunday 19^th July 2026.

Alongside the open call for artwork, we would also love to hear from anyone who has pictures, souvenirs, or memorabilia from holidays at seaside resorts, or holiday camps from the 1930s-1990s. We are also interested to hear from anyone who has photographs, memorabilia or stories passed down from family members from the Victorian era.

We are looking for scanned photos/images to form picture boards and showcase some physical souvenirs/items in cabinets to form part of the exhibition.

Please contact the Arts and Culture team at: artsandculture@gravesham.gov.uk if you have anything that may be of interest. Deadline: Sunday 31^st May 2026
