Many free events at Tonbridge Arts Festival....
The Tonbridge Arts Festival is looming now. After over a year of planning the festival will finally kick off on October 15th. I'm looking forward to it. I'm especially looking forward to the events which I'm personally involved in like the Book Fair on Sunday 17th and the Poetry evening with Aoife Mannix at Mojos on Weds 20th (followed by an open mic session) and the Lit Quiz at the Chequers pub the day before where I will be quiz-master, Question Mark, (I thought you'd like that!) for the evening. There's also some other top notch musical events, art exhibitions, interactive art projects and much more. Check out the details in the official programme which you can pick up from various places including Mr. Books Bookshop and Tonbridge libraries. Many of the events are free entry but, in some cases, you still have to book in advance which you can do over the phone on 01732 581010 or in person at Tonbridge central Library on Avebury Avenue. For the paid for events call the Angel Centre Box Office on 01732 359966. Alternatively look at the festival web site

I clicked on your link to the Tonbridge festival website. I can honestly say thay I have never seen such an appallingly badly designed and cumbersome mess of a website. It should be used in teaching 'how not to' lessons.The designers have obviously never heard the maxim 'form follows function'.
Do you know where I could pick up a clear list of what's on and where? Or is there another usable site you could recommend?
Printed programmes available at the library and indeed at Mr. Books. I think the web site was a project for a group of students at West Kent College so don't be two hard on them. The Arts Festival is a community event after all....
Hallum's comments about the Tonbridge Festival website backs up what I said on an earlier post. The website surely acts as the window for the Festival, and if people have difficulty in navigating around it, then they will quickly lose interest and go elsewhere.
You ask people not to be too hard on the West Kent College students who apparently designed it. Whilst not wishing to denigrate the hard work they must have put in, this is not the time or the place to put up a website designed as part of a classroom project. The results unfortunately speak for themselves!
It would have been far better to have paid a professional to come up with a site that would have provided a proper and informative guide to the Festival, rather than getting it done on the cheap!
