Tonbridge Lions community fete

Groups and individuals are invited to dress and behave as their favourite literary character or characters and to join the Parade, which will the process behind a band from River Walk, over big bridge, along Castle Walk and up on to the castle lawn. Schools and youth groups are asked to advise parents and guardians of individual participation and they can accompany any child or vulnerable person.

The fete on the castle lawn will be the usual selection of stalls, games and arena entertainment. This year there will also be an attempt at a Guiness World Record, attempting to beat the current record of 933 people to assemble in one place all wearing odd socks. Tonbridge Lions believe that at least 1000 is achievable and invite everyone to join in this attempt and ask every participant to donate a minimum of £1.

To register your interest and to receive further information about the parade or the record attempt please email Lion Lofty Bunyon at kbunyon@icloud.com.
