It sometimes seems as though the world and his wife are holding one, and at this time of year there are often several taking place within a narrow area at the same time. <br /><br />It was good though, to see something taking place in Tonbridge, and the town definitely seems on the up. What we need now is a decent pub; one which offers something different to the standard Punch/Enterprise formula.<br /><br />I won’t be able to make Angelfest, Brett, as I am away over the Bank holiday. I’ve been to the last three events, probably more out of habit than anything else, so I’m not particularly sorry about missing this year’s.<br /><br />I agree that the Cider Festival was very good, although I wasn’t really there long enough to do justice to the event. (Probably just as well, given the high octane of many of the ciders and perries). A full write up will appear, in due course.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-34839780699140352732016-05-26T12:27:09.755+01:002016-05-26T12:27:09.755+01:00have to agree - popped along at the weekend expect...have to agree - popped along at the weekend expecting good things but, in all honesty, it just seemed to be a smaller version of the excellent farmer's market, albeit with music as well. As you say, there was very little 'kentish fayre' on offer... The cider festival at the fire station was excellent though and seemed to be very busy. Angelfest is on at the weekend - not too sure what type of beers will bet here but am hoping for a good weekend..Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408163901285928844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-43867939725922483712016-05-25T22:12:04.233+01:002016-05-25T22:12:04.233+01:00AT least you're honest Paul, and give the orga...AT least you're honest Paul, and give the organisers some credit for organising it. Novelty beers and foods are a real turn-off. We do seem to be in a period of festival overload generally, there's not a week without a music/beer/craft food festival over the summer. I'll save y money for pubs !retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.com
