EMBRACING A BAVARIAN-INSPIRED AUTUMN WITH …
WÜNDER HARBOUR 2026 AT FOLKESTONE HARBOUR ARM
Wünder Harbour returns for its fourth year at Folkestone Harbour Arm, running until Sunday 11 October. This free-to-enter four-week event is a German celebration which sees The Goods Yard transform into a celebration of steins, sausages and singalongs.
®
The event will see the much-loved Bettesteiner Footstompers Oompah Band every Saturday and Sunday, plus much more live music to be announced. The event will see traders putting their own spin on Germanic classics to bring more food and drink to The Goods Yard than ever before!

JILL SARGENT iK COLUMNIST AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, PRODUCED IN KENT
I’ m a Leicester girl, but Kent’ s been my home for over 30 years and I’ ve never wanted to leave. I live in Maidstone and when I’ m not at my desk, you’ ll usually find me on a paddleboard on one of my local lakes, or out for a run; there’ s no better way to clear your head. My parents taught me to pay attention to where my food comes from and to appreciate it and that’ s stayed with me and grown during my 20 years at Produced in Kent.
My favourite part of the job is the people- getting to know our members, hearing the stories behind their businesses and watching them flourish and connect to customers. The Kent food and drink scene keeps reinventing itself, and I’ m still excited by what’ s coming next. A county with a big heart built by small businesses- that’ s Kent for you- and I wouldn’ t have it any other way.

TOP PICKS |
TOP EATS DOCKER BAKERY
I have a weakness for proper coffee and pastry. From croissants to cruffins, Docker Bakery never disappoints. Now they are spread across Kent, so I have plenty of choice when I am out and about!

TOP RESTAURANT MARC-PIERRE’ S KITCHEN
With sensational views of Ramsgate’ s Royal Harbour, this is the spot to enjoy brilliant seafood. This award-winning kitchen does it justice every time- great ingredients handled with care and worth the drive to the coast.

TOP AUTUMN EVENT BROADSTAIRS FOOD FESTIVAL
I try to never miss this, even though it’ s a bit of a busman’ s holiday for me. It’ s a huge number of Kent’ s best producers all in one place, and that’ s when you really see it come together- the stories, the people, the passion. That’ s what this job’ s all about.
