TONBRIDGE ART FAIR // 2 JUN
June is going to be an exciting month in Tonbridge for art lovers. The first ever Tonbridge Art Fair is coming to the newly refurbished River Walk on Saturday 2nd June from 10am-6pm. There will be paintings, drawings, sculpture, jewellery, glass, ceramics and more on show from many artists, some local and some not so local, with demonstrations and a chance to chat with the artists themselves. Visitors will also have the opportunity to have their portrait drawn by caricaturist Paul Gurney, so you could say it will be reminiscent of being in Montmartre or on the Left Bank in Paris! The fair is free to visitors and promises an enjoyable day out by the River Medway.
From 10am. Price: Free River Walk, Tonbridge www. facebook. com / Tonbridge-Art-Fair-240116406532192
CROWHURST ARTS IN THE GARDEN // 2-3 JUN
The garden records at Penshurst Place date back to 1346, with some areas in the existing garden rooms having been laid out in Elizabethan times. Early June is when the gardens are generally at their most beautiful with stunning displays of colour and heavenly scent to enjoy. From the 100-metre long peony border complete with four varieties of double-pink peonies, the vibrant blue and yellow beds with the specially cultivated Penshurst Blue and Penshurst Yellow iris, and early double herbaceous display of warm to cold colours in the Jubilee Walk, the gardens will be ablaze with colour and interest. As well as exploring the 11 acres of formal gardens, visitors can make the most of the new woodland trail and enjoy watching artists at work as Crowborough Arts Society will be painting in the gardens over the weekend.
