Welcome

Gateway to the Fourth Industrial Revolution

FP GE Event 240128 Funki Porcini Saturday Full Smiling door queue.JPG

Animating dormant places, inspiring innovation, and building do-it-yourself communities for over 25 years

Snapshot of the queue for the Fourth Portal, Gravesend, 26-28 Jan 2024. 

Fourth Portal fosters knowledge exchange by bringing technology, social gathering and innovation together.

We animate discarded locations, invigorate communities and stimulate economic activity by inspiring confidence in people, places and potential.

Town centres are not returning to how they were twenty years ago.

In the next ten years, businesses and jobs will have little resemblance to companies and employment from ten years ago.

Knowledge being exchanged at the Fourth Portal

The next generation of 'go-to towns' will be the ones with DIY culture.

Recent technological breakthroughs, including generative AI, will transform how people work, learn, interact, socialise and grow.

Creating the spaces and inspiring communities will be crucial for towns wishing to be part of this next wave of innovation and social revolution.

Fourth Portal

St Andrew's Waterside Mission Church Gravesend 2023 - 2024

Fourth Portal opened its second test site in May 2023 at St. Andrew's Art Centre, nestled by the River Thames in Gravesend.

St. Andrew's was infrequently used, except for occasional exhibitions, meaning it was rare for residents or visitors to access the stunning interior.  By implication, the entire riverside was generally deserted, except for people fishing and dog walkers.

Fourth Portal attracted more than 10,000 visitors in the first ten months, putting the location firmly on the map in Gravesend, across Kent, London and the UK.
