Take a step back in time with Faversham Hop Festival.
Learn a bit about the history of hop picking in Kent and how the traditions of hopping holidays led to the idea, and establishment, of the vibrant event that the festival is today. In pictures and movies you can explore the heritage of the hop picking industry and the tradition that the festival itself has now become.
Were you at the first festival 35 years ago, or did you and your family take part in hop picking in the area? Come and tell us about your memories and be part of living heritage*.
*We will ask permission to record your memories (no more than 5 minutes) and, if you are willing, use the recording in a new history area of our website at https://favershamhopfestival.org.
Advanced booking is not required
