Be captivated by firework spectaculars, hot air balloon displays, entertained at jousting tournaments or seduced by classical music at an open air concert in stunning surroundings.

Big occasions like the International Hop Festival in Faversham or the Maidstone River Festival are a must-see for visitors, while more unusual events like the Sedan Chair Race in Royal Tunbridge Wells or a Dickensian Christmas in Rochester are always great fun too.
