Carnival of Soul

Keane, Soul II Soul, Craig Charles and Stereo MCs are among the music acts joining Kaiser Chiefs at a drive-in event being staged by Pub in the Park founder Tom Kerridge.

Also joining the line-up for the Drive-in Garden Party, being held at Eridge Park in Tunbridge Wells, will be Gabrielle, Squeeze, Toploader, Steve Harley and Becky Hill.

The event, which follows on from Tom’s sold-out Drive-in Theatre nights being held at Hever Castle this week, also features Pub in the Park-style food, courtesy of Michelin starred chefs including Tom, Atul Kochhar and Paul Ainsworth.

Each visiting party will have a private enclosure in which to park their car, spread out and enjoy the food, along with three hours of feelgood live music.

Hampers of drinks can be ordered before or during the event and will be delivered to each enclosure by waiting staff.

There will also be some other areas where visitors can go, including an Artisan Car Boot Sale.

Pub in the Park’s Drive In Garden Party has been launched following the decision to postpone the originally scheduled events to next year.

Tom said: “We remain committed to providing great food and drink events throughout these difficult and complicated times. But we’re also looking forward to returning to a full tour in 2021.”

Prices for the Eridge Park nights, which are from Friday, September 18 to Sunday, September 20, start at £45. Tickets go on sale on Friday, July 17.

The event is subject to ongoing licence and government guideline approvals.
