Thousands watched DJ line-up, including Nic Fanciulli, at Kent Life in Maidstone, for a winter version of The Social music festival.

Thousands of dance music fans headed to a Maidstone attraction for an all-day festival.

More than 2,000 people filled two inflatable arenas at Kent Life on Saturday, for a winter version of The Social.

The concert was a smaller version of the brand's flagship event which has taken place in Mote Park for the last two summers, and will return in September.

Maidstone-born DJ Nic Fanciulli, who is one of the main organisers, closed the celebrations at the weekend after a line-up of performers entertained the crowds, including Hot Since 82, Maya Jane Coles, Davide Squillace and Matthias Tanzmann.

Several Kent-based artists were also on the bill, such as Scott Rozario and Rob Cockerton.

Members of the team ensured disruption to the local area was kept to a minimum by providing their own security at the venue in Lock Lane, Sandling. They also had sound engineers on site throughout the day to monitor noise levels.

Maidstone council did not receive any complaints about the show and Kent Police did not need to attend at any time.
