Our second event, an Afternoon of music, will be on Sunday 31st May from 3pm at the assembly rooms Preston street Faversham. Teas and cakes will be served on arrival before the entertainment gets underway, which will include classical pianists David Willisen and Andrew Mussett, jazz band Cassis Collective, and a singer Helen North for a lively mix of musical talent to celebrate Ham Marshes and Summertime.
