� After 8 unforgettable years at Strode Park… the Kent Tribute Festival has a new home AND new dates! �
From 2026, we’re moving just down the road to Quex Park, Birchington — with new dates too so you won’t have to wait a full year for the next festival! �
And the best part? You can now make a whole weekend of it — bring your tents, campers, caravans, or motorhomes and enjoy the full 3-day experience! ��
� We’ve loved every moment at Strode Park and are so grateful for their support. Together with all of you, we’ve raised thousands for their vital work. We’re thrilled they’ve accepted our invitation to continue to be part of our journey, with fundraising opportunities for their fundraising team at the new event!
� Why the move?
We’ve listened to feedback from residents and festival-goers. While Strode Park was a special home, parking and noise were tricky, as was festival space. Quex Park is the perfect solution — a purpose-built, much larger site just 15 minutes away, giving the festival room to thrive, some additional attractions for the whole family, and everyone more space to enjoy!
� What’s new at Quex Park?
• � Cheaper tickets — up to 50% less than 2025 prices for adults & kids!
• � Only 1 mile from Birchington station (or a 20min stroll)
• � Affordable taxis — from Herne Bay around £6pp each way (shared between 4)
• � Leave your car overnight and collect the next day
• � Local food, traders & community stalls still at the heart of the festival
• � Camping, motorhomes & caravans welcome — enjoy the full 3-day experience
• � 21 acts across 3 days — this event is a Legends Edition lineup but the new 3-day format gives us room in future years for lots of different artists!
We know many will feel nostalgic about leaving our “spiritual home,” but this move gives us the chance to make your festival experience more spacious, more flexible, and more affordable — while staying true to our roots. �
Take a look at the lineup and see what we have in store plus a second stage to keep the younger generation happy (well, apart from Chas & Dave!) - and the best deals to be had fo 2026 will be for those that book the earliest!
