Kent will soon be indulging in a fun celebration of its famous hops with the return of the popular Hops ‘n’ Harvest Beer Festival.

The family-friendly event - which will take place on Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8 once again at Sandling, Maidstone - is a celebration that gives visitors the chance to enjoy beer and cider as well as live, local music.

There is also the chance for visitors to truly experience the last Coal fired Oast House in Britain and even have a go at picking hops by hand.

There will certainly be no shortage of locally brewed ales and ciders. There will also be a Gin bar for the first time.

Up to 50 different varieties will be available at the beer tent and while there’s also a brilliant live music programme.
