Unique businesses from across Kent have set up pop-up shops in Bluewater showcasing the county's best products.

Four firms offering products ranging from fine foods to fun days out now feature in the walkways of the shopping centre.

The stores, set up in conjunction with Visit Kent and Produced in Kent, will only trade until May 4, but more could appear if the scheme proves successful.

Robert Goodman, Bluewater’s general manager, said: "Bluewater’s Best of Kent pop-ups are another example of our focus on providing something different for guests on every visit.

"Each of the four adds to the overall Bluewater experience and they have all been very popular with our guests already."
