Maidstone & Mid Kent

Branch Diary

We are a very friendly and active group and have a full diary of socials within the branch area along with bus trips to further afield destinations at least once a month, with quarterly business meetings as well. New faces are always made very welcome!

Although the branch is in a rural area, please do try to use Public Transport to attend our events where possible.

Our own bus trips are by regular service buses so you'll normally need to buy a Discovery Ticket on the first bus. The trips can sometimes also involve walks of between 1 and 2 miles.

Looking for something further afield? Check out the CAMRA National Events Hub.
