Tunbridge Wells Festival delights locals

A diverse line-up of entertainers delighted local revellers at the recent inaugural Tunbridge Wells Festival.

Tunbridge Wells Festival, which ran over the August bank holiday weekend, attracted crowds of visitors from all over the region, with a broad line-up of live music, dance acts, rappers and magic shows. A talent competition was also launched that is set to run throughout the coming months, with the winner being announced as part of a grand finale show in October.

Steve Mason is the chief organiser of the festival. He commented on the fact that the festival had a strong emphasis on local people, saying:



“Supporting talented people in Tunbridge Wells is a key part of the not-for-profit festival, which is by the people for the people. We want to support our local performers, traders and businesses in any way we can. A town the size and importance of Tunbridge Wells deserves its own festival.”




Programmes and brochures are often a key piece of literature for festivals, not only because they help festival-goers to find out what's on and when, but also because they are often kept as souvenirs of the event. Locally-run festivals like this one often opt to support regional businesses by using locally-based brochure printers.

Tunbridge Wells Festival organisers used their Twitter feed to announce how happy they were with this year’s proceedings. They tweeted:



“Thank you to all those who helped make our first Festival a success.”




Plans for next year’s festival are already underway.
