In 2008, members of various groups in Broadstairs came together, keen to explore ways to promote the town and to showcase its many independent shops, restaurants and pubs.

The idea was to create a festival, which would support the High Street, promote the area’s small food and drink producers and encourage visitors to explore all that the three coastal towns of Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate had to offer.

It was agreed, from the start, that the festivals should be community led, fun and available to all so a commitment was made to have FREE entry  a commitment that holds strong today.

The first festival, in 2009, was an immediate success thanks to the response from food and drink producers – and the band of volunteer helpers who gathered to stage the event.

And the rest, as they say, is history!

Pick Up Points and Travel Reminders

Providing Additional Information

During the checkout process, there is a ‘note’ box available. Please use this space to share any information you would like us to have prior to your journey. If you do not travel well by coach or require a seat nearer the front, please include this request at the time of booking. While every effort will be made to accommodate seating preferences, we cannot guarantee a front seat due to the high number of similar requests.

Order Confirmation and Tickets
