BANDIT HAS BEEN FOUND! Thank you to everyone that helped in the search to find Bandit. We're so pleased to say he has been found and is now resting at home. Glad we have such a great community willing to give of their time. #thankyou

Let's find Bandit! Thank you to everyone that has shared the original post so far, however, we need your help - Bandit is still missing. If you have any time today (Saturday 27 January) please come along to Mote Park and join in with the search. Any time that you can spare would be greatly appreciated. Let's bring this dog home safely. He must be very hungry and scared.

Ramblin Man Fair 2018 have announced the 1st of their headline acts.

Have you seen this dog? This dog was lost in Mote Park yesterday morning and is yet to be found. He answers to Bandit and is a shy dog. If you see him please let us know so that we can return him to his rightful owner. Thank you!

***STATEMENT*** Due to health & safety reasons, Prosecco Fest Kent has been postponed and will now take place on Friday 20th & Saturday 21st July 2018. As organisers, we feel that there could be a risk to our staff and customers, with regard to ground conditions and the high wind and rain forecast for Saturday. We also feel that we can produce a better show in the summer months with outdoor areas and offer our customers more value for money. Prosecco Fest Kent’s rescheduled summer edition will contain more entertainment, attractions, street food vendors and much more over the weekend and you can automatically transfer your ticket to this event at no additional cost. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused but unfortunately this is something that’s out of our control and our staff and customers’ safety is paramount. If you would like to attend the new date then your ticket(s) will automatically remain valid. However, if you would prefer a refund then you will be sent a link from Skiddle which will allow you to process one (please keep an eye on your inbox for an email which you'll receive in due course). Lastly, we are aware that many of you may have booked baby sitters or time off work for the original date (20th & 21st October) and in an attempt not to spoil your day or night out, we have teamed up with the newly reopened Banks Bar, Maidstone, which offers a high-end bar and more importantly Prosecco experience as alternative meeting place. NB: Please note that Banks Bar has a limited capacity, so please arrive early. Kind regards, Prosecco Fest UK
