"An ancient Cinque Port fills with folk music and real ale across 70+ acts in pubs, marquees and open spaces. The 14th year, and the tradition is now its own tradition."
Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival
"Three days at the Kent Showground, Detling: livestock, heritage crafts, Kentish food producers and the particular pride of the Garden of England showing itself off."
Kent County Show
"Three days of free music on the Kent seafront: shanties, folk songs, workshops, jamming sessions and market stalls rolling across a summer weekend by the North Sea."
Herne Bay Folk Festival
"Eight days, 400 events, 20 venues across a Kentish coastal town. Concerts, ceilidhs, a parade and over 160 free events. The kind of week that makes a modest seaside town briefly essential."
Broadstairs Folk Week
"A Surrey and Kent border show that runs across August Bank Holiday weekend with genuine character: horses, cattle, show jumping, and the Weald at its most golden."
Edenbridge and Oxted Agricultural Show
"Hop-picking made this Kentish market town. Every September the harvest reclaims the streets: real ale, folk dancing, a parade, stalls and the smell of hops in the air. Free to attend."
Faversham Hop Festival
"Horse and tractor ploughing judged furrow by furrow across a Kent stubble field, with a farmers market, gymkhana and the unhurried social weather of a working country day."
