SOME OF KENT ’ S FAVOURITE FACES SHARE WHAT THEY LOVE MOST ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN KENT .
“ I love anything Christmassy and I love planning lots of festive activities to enjoy with my daughter . A visit to choose our Christmas tree , see the Leeds Castle Christmas Lights , the magical grotto at Rare Breeds Centre , the Santa Specials with Kent & Sussex Railway and not forgetting our annual Christmas photos . Christmas is quite a busy time for my other half and I both running businesses , but we love to make sure we book in some magical Christmas experiences with our little girl while she is young enough to enjoy them . We booked a magical grotto experience with The House Meadow in Biddenden last year and it was truly memorable .” - ABI IRELAND , FOUNDER OF WINE TOURS OF KENT @ winetoursofkent

“ One of my favourite things about Christmas is making a wreath for our front door . I love collecting greenery , foliage and dried seed heads , then bringing them together for our door . I always try to make one for my grandma , too . They ' re never very polished or anything like the beautiful wreaths clever local florists produce , but it ' s a festive ritual I love . I captured this in one of my Christmas cards , making wreaths and the leafy mess that goes with it !” - IMOGEN PARTRIDGE , KENT ARTIST , @ imogen . partridge
“ There is nothing more beautiful than walking around Kent ’ s Christmas trails and National Trust sites with all the illuminated Christmas decorations ! We particularly love Christmas at Bedgebury and the Christmas Lights at Leeds Castle . There ’ s no feeling quite like wandering with a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows as you admire the lights ... Perfect for putting you in a fabulously festive mood before the big day !” - CÉCILE BLAIREAU , KENT INFLUENCER , @ thefrenchiemummy
