What's on in Tonbridge this weekend?...

Well quite a lot really. You've got the Book Fair at Tonbridge School (which I organise, so I had to mention that didn't I) the there's the scarecrow trail for the kids and, probably, one or two grown ups too! The Tonbridge Garden and Home Show, which is normally held this May Bank Hol w/e has been shelved till next year apparently, so don't go along to the park expecting to see that. Let's face it it does need livening up a bit doesn't it! If you fancy a bike ride or short drive to Penshurst there's the Weald of Kent Craft Fair on till Monday, expect to pay about a fiver though, which always seems a bit of a rip off to me when you're going in to spend money anyway. Then, a bit further afield, there's the new Kent Fair at the Hop Farm which, when I first saw the event advertised, I thought was the Kent Show and they'd gone and replaced the Detling venue but that's not true at all. Not sure what that's like but could be worth the short drive or cycle or even walk if you fancy it. Then there's the election. You could stay in and watch every development of the campaign trails or you could get out and do some canvassing and flag waving. Then there's shopping and all the usual things you might do on a weekend. Whatever you do this May Day w/e enjoy yourself and remember you won't get it ever again so in the words of someone clever: Sieze the day or, in this case, days!

I could never understand why people pay money to visit what was nothing more than a garden centre when there are plenty around for free.
