Dreamland Head offices and Ziggy’s Rooftop Bar & BBQ is another key venue within the newly re-birthed Dreamland Margate - a culturally transformative, local-economy-stimulating reimagining the famous amusement park that originally launched in the late 19th Century and was re-named as Dreamland during it’s 1920s renaissance.
Bringing a sense of exoticism to the Kent coast, as well as referencing the UK’s rich association with Afro-Caribbean culture, Ziggy’s is a laid back Jamaican rum shack located on a central rooftop of the dreamland offices overlooking the beach. Accessible only via a back alley stairwell to increase visitors’ sense of stumbling upon a hidden gem, it’s a space where DJs and acoustic music sessions are played in homage to endless summers (regardless of the time of year) and acknowledgment of the chilled-out charisma of reggae culture.
