The rally has been organised by Momentum Thanet and is called Another Thanet Is Possible.

It is a campaign to transform the Isle’s fortunes in terms of jobs, homes, health and education.

Momentum spokesman Norman Thomas said: "It has gone a bit crazy with the amount of people saying they're going to attend the rally so we had to move it.

"It is very exciting and there are a number of other national and local speakers which we are looking forward to hearing from too."
