The Lime Bar café is Folkestone’s newest venue, recently opened on Tontine Street opposite the Quarterhouse by Andi and Cath, it is already getting a reputation for their variety of events in the evenings.

Not just a café and bar, Andi wants it be a place that you to feel safe and it makes you feel. Along with gigs, reading, film and sound events, the Lime Bar is also now hosting their first exhibition full of amazing portraits by local artist James Jackson.  

 “The first time I met James I knew we were going to get along great, he’s the new guy to town, very creative and has a strong pedigree in music” said Andi.  “I get to look at the portraits all day long, and yet never get bored.”

The great combination of colours really expresses the tonal features in each and every one of the faces. I thought the portraits were astonishing and can see why Andi never gets bored looking at them, there is so much detail and colour to each piece that each time you look you notice something different.
