2025 FESTIVAL NEWS Our 2025 Festival Team, headed by Assistant Provincial Grand Master Mark Bassant, have been beavering away, along with sponsors the Patriot Group, planning some novel and exciting Events for this Spring and Summer.
First up is the Great East Kent Boat Race The race will start on Sunday 2nd May 2021. It’s a simple but hugely entertaining idea: you buy a little boat kit from us for a tenner, assemble it, paint it in your own favourite colours, and launch it from one of five beaches in Kent. We will then track all the boats, and the one that has sailed the furthest by the 5th May will win a prize of £100 for its owner. Second place will earn you £75, third place £50.
Full details, including how to assemble your boat, are on the Province’s website, where you can enter the Event.
Second is An Audience with Sir Ranulph Fiennes The Province of East Kent is delighted to present “An Audience with Sir Ranulph Fiennes” at our Virtual Theatre on Saturday 26th June 2021. Sir Ranulph Fiennes, British explorer, fundraiser, author and poet, has been described in the Guinness Book of Records as “the world’s greatest living explorer”. The Event is scheduled to start at 7 pm and finish at 8.30 and will include pre-notified questions from the floor. Tickets will cost £25 per household or individual: Sir Ranulph has kindly agreed that all proceeds from the Event will go towards the Province’s 2025 Festival.
Third is A Virtual Casino “A Night in Las Vegas”
Scheduled for Saturday 8th August 2021, and with a first prize of a Weekend in Paris for Two, this is something you really don’t want to miss! Further details nearer the date.
