People gathered to dance on Beautiful Sunday, a sculptural installation by the artist Jacqueline Donachie that celebrates ‘all the dance floors of Folkestone’ by marking out their size one-to-one on a huge stage set in the middle of the derelict gasworks site. Visitors are invited to stand on the stage and remember (if they are local residents) the dance floors - many of which are no longer active on the 21st of July 2021, in Folkestone, United Kingdom. The artwork is part of the Creative Folkestone Triennial 2020, The Plot, which sees 27 newly commissioned artworks appearing around the south coast seaside town. The new work builds on the work from previous triennials making Folkestone the biggest urban outdoor contemporary art exhibition in the UK. (photo by Andrew Aitchison / In pictures via Getty Images)
