Dartford Beer Festival returns to Central Park for 2024, plus the Canterbury Wine Festival and Tenterden Food and Drink Festival come to Kent
A beer festival boasting booze from almost 40 different breweries is coming to Kent.
The festival, hosted by Craft Beer Folk, will return to Dartford’s Central Park for three days this spring.
The outdoor beer festival will be pulling pints from Northfleet’s Iron Pier, Bexley Brewery, Rochester’s Moot and No Frills Joe in Greenhithe, as well as breweries from London, Bristol, Leeds and more.
Alongside the usual staples, such as craft beer and ciders, there will be a range of tipples on offer, including wine, sours and gluten-free and alcohol-free beers.
The festival, which takes place from Friday, May 17 to Sunday, May 19, will also be putting on live music and street food stalls across the weekend.
Tickets start from £10 and can be booked online here.
Tickets to the festival include a commemorative glass and beer guide.
That’s not the only place punters can enjoy a drink or two that weekend, as the Canterbury Wine Festival will also be opening its doors.
The festival, now in its 10th year, is a celebration of Kent’s homegrown wines and stunning vineyards at Westgate Hall.
With more than 45 wines from 16 different vineyards and a tasting session with expert Clive Barlow, visitors can sample plenty of vino and even pick up a couple of bottles to take home.
Tickets start from £45 and can be booked online here.
If you need some food to soak up all that booze, you can also swing by the Tenterden Food and Drink Festival, which will be at the town’s recreation ground from Friday, May 17 to Sunday, May 19.
The free festival will have more than 40 stalls selling street food and local produce, as well as live music, comedy and children’s entertainment.
