Victoria Gardens on Broadstairs seafront will play host to a range of entertainments for all the family from Saturday, May 6 to Monday, May 8 and will include a fireworks display on the opening evening.

Town Mayor Cllr Roy Dexter said: “We are excited to be working with so many partners to bring a weekend of music and fun across the Bank Holiday weekend, kicking off with a fireworks extravaganza on Saturday night.

“Plans for the rest of the weekend are well underway and details will be released soon.  Please keep an eye on Broadstairs and St Peter’s Town Council’s social media pages and website for updates.”
