Beer we go with Gatwick Airport car hire

Those using Gatwick Airport car hire may wish to use the vehicle to visit Kent in August, when a range of events include the Anglo-Bavarian Beer Festival in Chatham.

Held in the town’s historic dockyard on August 28th and 29th, the event runs from 16:00 to 22:30 BST, featuring an atmosphere that mixes the best of the Oktoberfest with a taste of British produce.

This means you can experience plenty of entertainment and lots of food and beers from both Britain and Germany in the visit, giving you two trips for the price of one.

And because it is only on in the evening, you can make sure you have got the drink out of your system before you get back in your hire car the next day and explore the various attractions of Kent.

This can include a visit to Canterbury, famous for its cathedral and also other reminders of the past, such as a ducking stool, used in medieval times to drown suspected witches.

From Gatwick, Chatham is easy to reach via the M23 motorway (northbound), then the M25 to Junction 2, from where you can drive eastwards to Chatham via the A2 and M2.
