We are thrilled to welcome back to the event Kent Kite Fliers, who will be hoping to fly all their wonderful kites high in the sky over Walmer beach!
The team from Wheel 2 Wheel Displays return with what promises to be two amazing bike stunt display shows. Applause Rural Touring are once again providing the music, puppetry and lots of laughter from the immensely popular show Caspian's Storm (LAStheatre) and a NEW show for this year The Butterfly House (Handmade Theatre). Our friends from The Junk Orchestra and Circus Sensible never fail to keep everyone entertained all afternoon! Plus we have BRAND NEW to the Festival in 2026 the much loved local musician Rich Rhythms who will be delivering West African Drumming workshops right on Walmer Green for all to enjoy. We have so much fun for everyone planned this year including two wonderful face painters - Lizzie's Face Painting and Look and Design by Jasmine Rosser. There will be lots of local organisations present offering a super mix of shows, music, games, activities, and sports including Dean Academy of Performing Arts, Deal Pirates, Deal Radio, Walmer Castle, RNLI Walmer, HM Coastguard Deal, Dover District Council's Community Roots van, The Downs Sailing Club, and much more too! Did we mention it's all completely FREE to enjoy? Please come and join us on Saturday 4th July - we promise it will be a wonderful family afternoon for everyone!
