We are working flat out to make Our Kent Miners Festival a community event to remember but we need a bit of help. We have managed to hire 2 big marquees but we need a third. At this present time we cannot fund the third, so I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a marquee we could borrow or hire at a reasonable price? We would take great care with it and it would be covered by Festival Insurance. Below is Press release for Festival. Many Thanks
Kent Miners Festival
