The fabulous Kent Life Hops ‘n’ Harvest Beer Festival is back for families to enjoy a truly authentic festini’ atmosphere with a variety of live and local music on Saturday
the 9th and Sunday
10th September, and
visitors can arrive any time after 10am for a day full of fun. 

The festival began as a celebration of the humble hop, so why not take a step back in time to meet historical characters from Kent’s past and witness the traditional hop-making
process in the last Coal fired Oast House in Britain.

Visitors can have a go at picking hops by hand, fill the bushels, and enjoy the pleasant aroma as the Oast House is brought back into working life for one weekend only. Also
take a peek round the Hoppers Huts, where previous generations would have enjoyed their summer holidays.

Guests can visit the Kentish Ales Marquee to sample up to 50 varieties of beers, ales and ciders at Kent Life, or pop into the gin bar for a refreshing serve. There will also be
a variety of food stalls on offer, a fresh and tasty menu served in Dotty’s Tea Room, and Wood Fired Oven Pizza in the Pizza Garden.
