Kinetika’s T100 Festival returns this May with its free 2026 programme, Seeing Thurrock Differently: A Journey Home.
From heritage walks to graffiti workshops, poetry in dye gardens to citizen science at dusk, playful performances to a joyful festival finale by Kinetika’s home in Purfleet-on-Thames, this year’s programme brings Thurrock into motion – connecting where we’ve come from with where we might go next.
For 12 years, T100 has invited people to explore, talk and create together across Thurrock. In 2026, artists, schools, storytellers, scientists, poets, neighbours and Thurrock’s next generation come together once again to share stories, uncover hidden histories and imagine new futures rooted in place.
Whether you’re discovering Thurrock for the first time or seeing it anew, there’s a walk, a story and a place at the table waiting for you.
Come explore, talk and create – and see Thurrock differently.
