With longer days, warmer evenings, and a calendar filled with local events, it’s the perfect time to relax, explore, and make the most of a long weekend by the coast.

At the centre of it all is Quex Park, where the popular Kent Tribute Festival returns for a lively weekend of music and entertainment. With a fantastic line-up of tribute acts, delicious street food, and a vibrant, friendly atmosphere, it’s a highlight of the bank holiday and a great way for guests to come together and enjoy the start of the summer season.

Just along the coast, Margate comes alive over the bank holiday weekend with events like Margate Meltdown, bringing together live music, bikes, and a lively seaside crowd. It’s a unique experience that adds a burst of energy to the coastline and makes for a memorable day out just a short drive from our parks.
