Postcards From My Seaside Town

Carousel’s learning-disabled artists shine a light on the unique experiences of learning-disabled coastal town residents and celebrate the vital roles they play in their towns’ identities.

The work is an immersive experience that weaves together film, audio and performance to tell powerful stories of belonging and change. It explores the importance of family, community, and memory, and is a culmination of 18 months of working alongside older learning-disabled residents from Sussex and Kent. A bold new piece, Postcards From My Seaside Town, celebrates these close-knit communities and confronts the forces that both shape and threaten them.

Witness the untold story of your seaside town.

From 1 December 2025, a Transaction Fee will apply to all bookings made through WTM, including online, in person, and by telephone. 

This fee helps cover the increased operational costs associated with processing bookings and maintaining our customer-focused ticketing systems. As public funding for the arts continues to decline, Transaction Fees are becoming commonplace across the UK cultural sector, allowing us to protect our programming, invest in digital improvements, and support exceptional customer service. 

As part of their members' benefits, WTM Members and Patrons will not pay a Transaction Fee. This will automatically be applied when you log into your online account. In person, please show your digital membership card to a member of the Ticketing & Sales team if purchasing your tickets at one of our Ticket & Sales Offices.
