Derek Jarman (1942-94) first discovered Prospect Cottage in Dungeness in 1986. Together with his long-time companion Keith Collins, Jarman turned Prospect Cottage and its surrounding gardens into an oasis of creativity. It was here, in Dungeness that many of Jarman’s most iconic films were conceived and created. Today, it remains much as it did when Jarman was alive.  Visitors can view artworks, gain greater insight into the life and work of Derek Jarman and reflect on the profound importance of this special place.
