The festival, which combines top music acts with award-winning chefs and local restaurants, returns next summer with Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge.

This year, the festival served up an incredible 19,000 dishes to visitors, and next summer is set to bring another star-studded line-up of TV chefs, mouth-watering food and cooking demonstrations to the Kent park.

“We love coming to Tunbridge Wells,” says Pub in the Park Managing Director Miranda Martin. “It’s a fan favourite on our Pub in the Park tour and we can’t wait to come back. We’re hard at work behind the scenes creating the biggest event to date and it won’t be one to miss. Keep an eye out for more announcements coming soon.”
