BayPoint Festival is a music festival located just
a stone’s throw away from the sandy beaches
of East Kent. Its mission is to put on an annual
music event for the people of East Kent,
showcasing the best in local talent and produce,
and creating nothing but good times… After an
incredible first year, the organisers are doing it
all again in 2015, with more tents, more music,
and much more entertainment including King
Size Slim, CoCo and the Butterfields, Red Butler,
and Beth George. Tickets are £25 for the
weekend.

If you love dance music, this is the place to be.
The Social Festival prides itself on celebrating
the best of the best when it comes to dance
music, bringing a little bit of Ibiza to the fading
English summer. And it’s not just the music that
draws the crowds – you’ll be able to enjoy market
stalls, locally produced food and drink, and funfair
rides to complete the holiday atmosphere. Acts
for 2015 include Jackmaster, Solomun, Marco
Carola, Tom Trago, and Jamie Jones. Tickets
are from £39.50 to £75 for the VIP package
(which includes fast track entry and real toilets!).

stir the soul. Tickets can be bought for individual
