News the local

Dear Readers

Welcome to the September edition of the local Oracle which includes a brand new map for Kings Hill showing the recently opened Kings Hill Sports Park. If you are running events in the park and would like them listed in our events page or on the website, please do get in touch.

Whilst the holiday season is coming to an end it seems to be the beginning of the event season. Music@Malling takes place at the end of the month and brings homegrown talent as well as international artists to the historical venues in and around West Malling. See centre pages and website for the full details. Another option is The Family Social in Mote Park which features some more well known popular artists. You will also see a big thank you from Music On The Hill who donated a huge ÂŁ80,000 to their chosen charities. Anna & Jane
