This festival is bigger, better and longer for 2022 and will bring together an exciting mix of locally-produced food and drink, music and entertainment for all the family. 

After a two-year break due to the pandemic, this year's festival will be a four-day weekend celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. 

The event will offer a wide range of locally-produced foods showcased alongside foreign gastronomic delights, together with beer, wine and cider produces to titilate the tastebuds. 

There is also a programme of great live music across the four days of the free festival, as well as demonstrations and activities including kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing on the water. 

The popular charity dragon boat racing organised by Medway Sunlight Rotary Club takes place in Basin 2 at Chatham Maritime on Sunday, 5 June. 

Ample free parking is available in North Road at the Universities at Medway Campus. Festival-goers are asked not to park on St Mary's Island. 

The event runs 10am-5pm from Thursday, 2 to Sunday, 5 June.
