Kent County Show and tell!

It's time to countdown to this years Kent County Show!

Only one more day to the gates open!

The KAS will be returning for the first time since 2008. We cannot wait to showcase some of the wonderful items in our collection with the thousands of visitors who will grace the Kent County Show across the 5th, 6th and 7th July!

We will be bringing along a number of pottery vessels from the Percy Payne Collection, donated to the Society by the Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit. These vessels were part of a collection showcasing items found on the North Kent Marshes.
