  I 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.

  Even more than you mention Ron - http://www.broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk/broadstairs-youngzone.htm
  
  Big difference though, Broadstairs is a holiday resort not a ferry port, and the town and seafront are one continuous pleasure zone!

  post 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

  I 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.
