A Queen look-alike, egg hunts and tractor displays will be part of an event to celebrate our national traditions.

The English Festival returns to Riverside Country Park in Rainham from 11am until 5pm on Saturday.

The festival, organised by Medway Council, is usually held in April to celebrate St George’s Day and this year it will also mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

There will be the chance for residents to take a picture with a Queen look-a-like and a Jubilee themed cake decorating competition.

As the festival falls on Easter weekend, there will be egg hunts and other spring activities too.

There will be a funfair, live music, car displays, a George and the Dragon show, falconry displays and tractor demonstrations.

A shuttlebus service will be running from Chatham Bus Station, Medway Park, Jeffery Street, Richmond Road and The Strand.

There will be parking on site for £5 per vehicle, a park and walk from Bloors Wharf for £2 and a park and ride from the University of Greenwich, Chatham Maritime.

Cllr Howard Doe, Medway council’s portfolio holder for community services, said: “I am pleased that the English Festival is returning this year, with a number of activities for residents of all ages to enjoy at Riverside Country Park. There is two times the excitement this year, with Jubilee and St George’s Day being incorporated into the day.

"I would encourage residents to find out more about what’s on offer, including Punch and Judy shows and a helter skelter.”
