WELCOME
POSING UP A STORM ON A GETAWAY TO BRIGHTON!
Britain can be a bit‘ weather and politics’ at times, then suddenly, between scattered showers and ongoing referendum resentment, when the sun starts to shine, it shines a unifying light – we all seem to forget our worries and head out for a muchneeded dose of vitamin D. There are plenty of ways to get out into the elements across Kent, some of which are daring, some of which are calming, but all of which are surprisingly accessible. Head to p57 for 15 packed pages detailing our county’ s life-affirming bounty of elemental activities.
Perhaps your idea of embracing summer’ s warming sun is less to do with getting active and more to do with making sure you’ re looking your best from top to toe, in which case we have you covered too. Our handy guide to summer skin from p135 is a veritable beauty bible covering everything from safe sunbathing and prepping your pins, to making sure your hands and feet aren’ t left in the shade.
Elsewhere, it’ s the time of year when church bells start merrily ding-donging to celebrate weddings galore; if you’ re planning your big day( or planning to propose, in fact), check out our extended wedding feature from p73 for inspiration on everything from this year’ s top trends, showstopping cakes, Kent’ s incredible amount of beautiful venues, and of course THE DRESS.
We couldn’ t possibly forget food and drink – two things that go hand in hand with sunshine and socialising. Starting with a round up of everything ice cream in Kent on p105, we’ ve checked out our fair share of excellent eateries and reviewed them for you, plus we’ ve rounded up this summer’ s coolest drinks on p119 – you’ ll be surprised at the range, both soft and alcoholic, that you can find to delight thirsty guests.
Please find and follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook – insideKENT – to let us know what you think of the mag.
