The Ashford, Folkestone and Romney Marsh CAMRA branch teams up with the Kent & East Sussex Railway to fill Tenterden Town Station with 50 real ales, ciders and perry across two days. Live music both nights, food on Friday evening and all day Saturday, and on the Saturday you can take a pint onboard a steam-hauled train and drift between Tenterden and Bodiam through the Wealden countryside.

Tenterden is 25 minutes from Rye. There's a free CAMRA evening bus serving local villages, but if you're heading back to Rye stay riverside at The River Haven and skip the drive home from the platform.

Stay at The River Haven
