Tonbridge Arts Festival is coming - 15-24 October

Tonbridge Arts Festival is less than two weeks away… beginning on Friday 15th October, it runs until Sunday 24th October with fantastic events such as The Original Bucks Fizz, internationally-renowned magician Jonathan Shotton, bestselling author Josephine Cox, 'Grumpy Old Man' Arthur Smith, sculptor Guy Portelli and Phil Collins cover band, No Jacket Required.

The Original Bucks Fizz
The festival aims to bring the joy of the arts to the people of Tonbridge and beyond and will focus on literary, performing arts and visual arts events. The festival is being organised by a committee of representatives from Tonbridge School, Tonbridge Library, West Kent College and Hillview School for Girls with the support of Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council and events will take place in a wide variety of venues including the Media and Arts Centre at the College, Tonbridge School, a number of bars, restaurants and pubs in town, the E. M. Forster Theatre, the Angel Centre, Hillview School, the castle and more!

Arthur Smith
As reported by Tonbridge Blog, there were 13,000 programmes printed but they seem to have got lost somewhere… If you’ve seen them then let us know! In the meantime a list of events is on the Tonbridge Arts Festival website so you can see for yourself some of the fantastic things that will be happening around town. It’s not to be missed!
