What's on?
Maidstone's Original Beer & Hop Festival
Sample Cobtree Ale, brewed from Kent Life's own hops, at Maidstone's Original Beer & Hop Festival. Wider-ranging than most beer festivals, there's not only live music, but also the chance to help in the brewing process by hop picking.
Apple & Cider Festival
Shiny reds, juicy greens and mellow yellows - apples of all shapes and sizes are the focus of this Apple & Cider Festival at Maidstone's Kent Life museum. Munch on the apples, sip the juices or try the range of ciders.
Faversham International Hop Festival
This hop-mad event pulls in the crowds with promises of morris dancing, live music, local crafts, beer...and more beer. The two-day festival takes over Faversham's medieval square and streets to celebrate the market town's hop-picking tradition.
Detling International Antique & Collectors Fair
Five times a year, eagle-eyed collectors come to Detling's Kent Showground to hunt for gems amidst the 500 stalls at the International Antique & Collectors Fair. Just 30 minutes from the Channel Tunnel, it has a real international flavour.
St Peter's Village Tour
Take the St Peter's Village Tour in Broadstairs to see the oldest buildings in town brought to life by costumed characters. The mile-long walk includes visits to the tower used during the Napoleonic wars and the 350 year-old Baptist Church.
