Nostalgia store Forget-Me-Not Vintage has worked alongside the council to organise an eclectic mix of bandstand entertainment at Gravesend's Gordon Promenade.

The Iron Pier Brewery, Maidstone Lindy Hoppers and The Nuthouse vintage barbers will provide visitors with a unique blast from the past.

The Horizon collection will be selling local history and shipping memorabilia, alongside a number of other vintage traders.

Classic cars, a pop-up tea shop, and a soundtrack managed by Elephant Music are also set to make the event a day to remember.

Additionally, there will be a fringe festival in and around LV21 Lightship with creative workshops and performances.

Children can enjoy donkey rides, a bird show, traditional Punch and Judy performances, crafts, and mad scientist interactive fun at the dedicated family area within Fort Gardens.

Cabinet member for events, Cllr Sandra Garside, said: "This festival is always very popular with the people of Gravesham, and even those visiting from neighbouring areas.

"Planning has been going on for some months and it promises to be a great day for everyone to enjoy."

The festival will take place from 11am.
