MILK FEST 2017
SUNDAY 27 AUGUST
H O M E G ROW N & H A N D M A D E FA I R
Festival fever continues in Sissinghurst on Sunday with a ‘homegrown and
handmade’ fair showcasing some of our favourite local people. Sample
some of the fine Kent produce featured on our seasonal menus from
Moons Green Charcuterie, Claire’s Bread, Wylde & Shrub and Speakeasy
Ice Creams then wash it all down with an artisanal G&T from Anno
Distillers or a cuppa cold brew from Debonair Tea. You’ll also have a
chance to meet Romney Marsh Wools, who supply our luxurious lanolin
bath products.
Alongside all this, artists Sandy Dooley and Amy Devlin will be displaying
their colourful paintings inspired by the local landscape and encouraging
all our visitors to leave their mark on a collaborative canvas. There’ll be
performances from Ramblin’ Rags, Alana Hazzard, Orfila and Milky Negro,
with The Caress, Caleb Howard-Almond and The Bay Rays bringing the
night to an exuberant conclusion. Meanwhile our full-fat festival BBQ will
continue to cook up chargrilled treats.

It’s not over yet! On Monday, you can’t miss the Sissinghurst Village
Fete, one of Kent’s most glorious summer events, combined with the
hotly-anticipated dog show. We’ll be there, pulling pints from the ‘pop
up’ Hopper Hut bar. At the end of the fete, we’ll be keeping the party
spirit alive back at the pub, with tunes from Kyla Stroud and Fred Clark,
followed by the super fun Tragic Mushrooms. Join us for the Bank
Holiday’s last hurrah – and dance your socks off because there’s nothing
more splendid than summer in Sissinghurst!
