St George’s Day

Hundreds of people lined the streets of Dover to pay their respects to those who were killed and wounded during the Zeebrugge Raid 100 years ago which was the most audacious amphibious attack of the Great War. The raid on the Belgian port was a desperate attempt by the Royal Navy’s Dover Patrol to stop German submarines wreaking havoc among allied shipping. During the raid on 23 April 1918, 277 men were killed and 356 wounded. The Royal Marines Band march down the High Street.

Youth Theatre

Dover Youth Theatre ran a course in theatre combat Founded in 1995. The Dover Youth Theatre was conceived as a means of expanding the opportunity for young people to learn more about drama and dance and related subjects. Dover has had a long tradition of theatre and music and DYT provides a means of introducing new talent to the arts. Many of the students of DYT have gone to studying drama in higher education and with professional companies. Many more have participated purely for the enjoyment of the theatre.
