5 to 12 year olds
- 11 August 2012 15:08186796for 5 to 12 year olds next week at broadstairs during the folk week they have excellent 2 hours of entertainment to keep this age group occuipied ,form 10am to about noon always around 150 mixed in with the hoilday makers and this would be just what dover needs if we get the bandstand on the seafront
anyone who goes lets have a review to show dover what we are missing - 12 August 2012 18:18186936I went to Broadstairs yesterday afternoon. Very busy and a lovely day for it. The main entertainment is in various venues round the town, for which you have to pay or get a ticket. Most of the pubs have free live music as well though and there are various things going on at the bandstand. Also a big craft fair near the bandstand. It's on until next Friday if anyone wants to go. I might go again one evening next week if the weather stays fine.

Big difference though, Broadstairs is a holiday resort not a ferry port, and the town and seafront are one continuous pleasure zone! - 13 August 2012 09:22187022post about us going for a bandstand on seafront ------- and then entainting the kids in summer hoildays
as above recommend the morning around the bandstand , afternoons go over to the folk music , but music in most pubs dinnertime and evening from folk ( 90% ) to solo pop singer
two best non- folk to look out for jed and the phatt bastards - 14 August 2012 07:08187125I know a friendly dragon;
Clarence is his name.
He lives by the sea at Broadstairs
And now he's back again.
That's the first verse of Clarence's song. We used to spend the week over at Broadstairs during the folk week when my children were small. They and my mum loved it.
Clarence has a second verse too, as his mouth is a collection box:
He likes eating money
For dinner every day,
So hurry up and feed him
Before he goes away.
We used to be informed that Clarence didn't digest coppers very well, but that silver and folding stuff were much better for his stomach.
