Welcome To The Faversham Hop Festival Website!

For the whole weekend commencing Saturday 30 August 2008 the town of Faversham will be home to the annual Faversham International Hop Festival.  A traditional, fun festival set in the picturesque medieval town's square and surrounding streets, celebrating the olden days of hop picking in Kent.  With music to suit eclectic tastes, children's entertainers, professional street theatre, stilt walkers, Morris dancing, craft fare, and ceilidh, it's a weekend for family and friends to enjoy!
