Following the success of its Faversham-based Live and Unlocked event in September 2021, Britain’s oldest brewer will be welcoming visitors to the quaint coastal town with a jam-packed line-up of live artists.

Pubs taking part include Shepherd Neame’s Duke of Cumberland, Smack Inn, The Royal and the famous beachfront landmark Old Neptune.

There will also be a great choice of delicious eats, specially cooked up for this weekend.

If you want to line your stomach, the East Kent is offering wood-fired pizzas for just £5 during Whitstable Bay Live, which you can pre-book for a tasty lunch or dinner.

Festival-goers will also have the chance to win a year’s supply of the event’s namesake, Whitstable Bay beer, and a goodie bag of merchandise such as sunglasses and t-shirts.

“With spring on the way, it is the perfect time of year to get out and enjoy a weekend of live music at our fantastic Whitstable pubs,” says pub marketing manager Caroline Williams. “We hope that people will come along, support their seaside local and enjoy a pint from our award-winning Whitstable Bay range.”

Whitstable Bay Live takes place from Saturday, April 2 to Sunday, April 3. You can find the full line-up of artists online here.
