The objective of the Aylesford Food and Drink Festival is to showcase Regional and International Culinary Excellence  
 
The inaugural Festival is scheduled to take place on the grounds of Aylesford Priory, adjacent to the historically significant priory buildings. The event, organized by the team responsible for the acclaimed Tonbridge Farmers Market, anticipates attracting over 15,000 attendees over its two-day duration.  
 
The festival will feature more than 60 stallholders offering a diverse selection of food and beverage products sourced from Kent, the surrounding region, and international locales. Exhibitors will present a range of items, including cheeses, breads, baked goods, confectionery (such as fudge and chocolate brownies), locally roasted coffee, and other specialty food items.  
 
The Aylesford Food and Drink Festival will be held over the final weekend of June.  
 
A dedicated area will feature a variety of locally produced beers, ciders, and other beverages from the Weald of Kent and beyond, catering to adult visitors and a program of activities is planned to engage attendees, including cooking demonstrations led by established local chefs, food producers, and culinary authors.  
 
Further details regarding the event can be found on the official Facebook page 
 
A Street Food area will provide a space for visitors to rest and sample offerings from various vendors. A diverse array of freshly prepared hot food options, encompassing English, European, Asian, and New World cuisines made with quality ingredients, will be available.  
 
Organizers express their anticipation for a well-attended weekend event focused on culinary appreciation.
