Folk Festival A full weekend festival of folk song, music
and dance.
Tenterden, situated in the ancient Weald of Kent, is an
ideal setting for this friendly, family folk festival. It features one of the
widest High Streets in the country lined with historic and listed buildings,
numerous friendly pubs and restaurants and green verges. For more information
about this year's Folk Festival, please watch this space…
Cranbrook and Tenterden Food and Drink Festival
Following the success of the inaugural event in 2007, plans are already
in motion to organise the second Cranbrook Food and Drink Festival. The event,
which celebrates the area's wide range of local food and drink producers, is
made up of a series of events held over three days. Last year's event included
a farmers' market, wine tasting, apple fayre, celebrity book signing with Mary
Berry, Young Master Chef competition and themed menus in the area's pubs, cafes
and restaurants. The dates for this year's Food and Drink Festival are yet to
be confirmed, but the event promises to be bigger and better in 2008! For more
information, watch this space…
