Happy belated ! To celebrate, our team has shared some of their favourite spots around Kent that showcase the beauty and charm of our county.

Lara's pick is the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. Experience our local steam train with views of Britain's only desert.

Sandra recommends exploring East Kent's three impressive castles; Deal Castle, Dover Castle and Walmer Castle & Gardens.

Alison's choice is the Folkestone Harbour Arm, a great spot for lunch and a stroll along the beach.

Jan's pick is Wingham Wildlife Park, a brilliant day out for the whole family.

Rachel's must-visit attraction is the historic Canterbury Cathedral, a popular choice with groups visiting the city.

Katherine's suggestion is Canoe Wild, a fun way to explore the River Stour and enjoy some water sports.

What an incredible afternoon we had on Friday celebrating International Women's Day at the University of Kent.

Working in partnership with Kent Sport and the University's EDI team, we welcomed women from across both the University and Kent for an afternoon of networking, learning, and sharing.

The event was perfectly chaired by Rebecca Smith and we enjoyed three fascinating talks from: Dr Katie Cartledge, Olivia France, and Toni Abiodun - who were all brilliant!

A huge thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to seeing you at an event at the University of Kent soon! We have lots of great events coming up this year!
