Take some family activities, add a dash of beer and a splash of music and you’ve got Kent Life’s popular Hops ’n’ Harvest Beer Festival.

The two-day event takes place at the attraction that's just off the M20 near Maidstone.

Taking place on Saturday, September 10, and Sunday, September 11, there will be a beer and cider tent and a Pimm’s garden where you can sit and sip.

Visitors can also give hop-picking a go and meet some colourful characters such as the Oasties, Tally Man and the pearly kings and queens.

You can also see one of the last working oast houses fired up and witness the life of a hop from picking to drying before tasting the end result.

Two stages will have live music from 11am into the evening. Rochester’s Jamie Johnson, a finalist in The Voice in 2014 and who has released his debut EP Footsteps, will be topping the bill on the Goldings Main Stage on Saturday.

On Sunday, Gentlemen of Few, who reached the semi-finals of BBC Radio 2’s Young Folk Award 2014, will be on stage on Sunday.

There’s a free pint of beer on offer with all adult tickets booked online.
