Spirit of Rock festival organisers have designed the best festival experience possible in a perfect location –  Mote Park in Maidstone  –  close to London, yet easily accessible from continental Europe.

And in addition to celebrating the best of classical and contemporary rock, impressive prog, and authentic blues with  buzzin’ country — the Fair will also deliver the highest quality food and beverage, plus even boasts of its very own beer festival. Accommodation will include Glamping and Camping [nearby] and VIP facilities for the well-heeled.
