Margate music venue Faith In Strangers has officially relaunched in May 2022 after its initial launch in April 2021, which was marred by numerous Covid restrictions and changes.
Faith In Strangers’ origin story is riddled with bad luck: the first soft opening coincided with the end of 2019 just before the pandemic hit, and the team were soon forced to close.
As restrictions lifted slightly in 2021, the venue began the launch process in April 2021, but couldn’t make use of the space's full potential, including the ability to book guest DJs.
“It’s been a long hard road, but now this feels like our proper launch,” said Richard Randles, co-founder of Faith In Strangers.
“We’re really proud to have announced some great DJs and musicians to Margate this summer and there’s more that we’re still to announce! We’ve got a big old pipeline, with a lot more planned, but this feels like the beginning of something really special.”
“It’s incredibly satisfying to finally get onto implementing our vision with action rather than talk,” added Jeremy Duffy, co-founder of Faith in Strangers.
“Our first full launch party with Horse Meat Disco over the Easter weekend was everything I’d hoped for. It was a true discotheque. Super lovely and respectful crowd and staff team, a beautiful sunset and superb music late into the night. The recipe really does create a special and magical atmosphere.”
