“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.”
