Thousands flocked into Tenterden at the weekend to sample the delights that was Tentertainment.

The two-day, free music event proved to be a runaway success according to organisers, with a host of bands performing on stage and plenty of refreshments complemented by fine weather.

Pippa Carter, who along with husband Mike and others organised the event, said: “We have had a fantastic response - it went beyond our wildest expectations. We cannot thank people enough for their support.”

An estimated 4,000 people each day encamped on the recreation ground to enjoy the sounds of such bands as The Jive Aces, Chris Smith and his String of Pearls, Paul Dunton, Cocos Lovers and local rock band, D-finitive.

Students from Homewood School took to the stage on Sunday, singing and performing some drama pieces to a good reception.
