Kent is the home of Britain's hops production and the Kent Beer Festival at Merton Farm is the second-oldest in England. Try brews from the county's independent breweries, including Shepherd Neame, Goachers, Hopdeamon and Whitstable.
In total you can choose from over 100 real ales, of which Master Brew and Bishop's Finger are usually firm favourites. There's also an extensive selection of foreign beers on offer, not to mention Kentish cider.
The entertainment consists of live music from local bands every evening, while the food available includes delicious hot snacks, local cheese and curry - the ideal partner for beer.
