What’s on in Kent 2026
Kent’s rolling landscapes give it the nickname ‘The Garden of England’, yet there's far more to this county than taking leisurely strolls through pretty villages (though we’d recommend that, too).
When you’re staying at our Kent Coast Holiday Park, check out the events going on nearby in 2026.
