What's on in Bush, Lower

Kent, England

Village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about — Bush, Lower keeps its social calendar fuller than you'd expect, and here's the lot. From craft workshops and farmers' markets to quiz nights and coffee mornings, talks and screenings to book clubs and bingo. The events that make a place feel like home rather than just somewhere you happen to live. We've scoured parish council sites, library listings, venue pages, and community noticeboards to find everything happening near you. The stuff the big sites miss because they're too busy listing festivals fifty miles away.

In Our Own Time: Shared Reflections in Creativity and Wellbeing

This exhibition brings together artworks created within a Shaw Trust & Live Well Kent funded person-centred art as therapy programme that places process, presence, and personal rhythm at its core. Across a series of workshops in abstract drawing, painting, printmaking, and clay, participants engaged with materials as a means of exploration rather than mastery — allowing gesture, texture, and form to emerge through attentive experimentation. The title speaks to pace. In a culture often defined by urgency, productivity, and comparison, in our own time proposes an alternative tempo — one that honours the unfolding of insight, memory, emotion, and growth without pressure or predetermined outcome. Within the therapeutic space, creativity becomes less about achievement and more about attunement: to one’s inner landscape, to the tactile dialogue between hand and material, and to the subtle shifts that occur when expression is given room to breathe. The works presented here are not endpoints but traces of encounter — moments of reflection made visible. Some are bold and expansive; others quiet and restrained. Each carries the imprint of a process rooted in curiosity, vulnerability, and self-trust. Together, they form a collective testament to creativity as a restorative practice: one that allows individuals to move, pause, return, and begin again — always in their own time.
