LV21 is a 40 metre steel-hulled lightship being transformed into a floating cultural facility designed to provide a range of services promoting and supporting the creative industries in the Medway area and beyond, whilst celebrating and honouring the maritime traditions of the vessel. LV21 will become a unique venue with an individual and distinct identity, one of the area’s prime platforms for cultural activities across diverse artistic disciplines.
An integral aim of the LV21 project is to help rejuvenate the Medway riverfront and improve the public realm, bringing new life to what was once a busy commercial thoroughfare. LV21 will endeavour to act as a beacon, attracting the community, visitors and businesses to the riverside and establish itself as an iconic landmark for Medway. It will be a celebration of the area’s historical maritime importance and creative community, a brand synonymous with innovation, regeneration and rejuvenation.

The Seaside Sisters made the most of LV21′s fascinating space with seaside themed sets, exhibiting their work with theatrical waves, a floral clock and Punch and Judy inspired displays. There were lots of activities and craft workshops for children and adults to join, and a shop selling Seaside Sisters crafts and vintage UK souvenirs.
