The French Connection

Faversham's twin town, Hazebrouck, came to see our town at its best.
The Faversham Hop Festival is a celebration of the hop harvest and the old days of hop picking, when thousands of Londoners came down to the Kent Hop-Gardens every September for a country holiday with pay!

During Hop Festival celebrations the town resounds to the clatter of clogs, music and song with dance groups from throughout the UK performing in the streets.
