Faversham, England: The Faversham Hop Festival

Soon after my arrival, our lovely friend Tom invited Milly and I to the Faversham hop and folk music festival. We had no idea what to expect, so hopped a train on Sunday morning to see what we could see.

Faversham is a tiny town in Kent and I imagine it would be a very, very sleepy town for 362 days of the year, but this weekend it was overrun by festivalgoers. Don’t ask me any questions about the festival, I didn’t learn a thing about it’s history or purpose. I did learn the following things though;

Hop crowns are the best crowns.






Cider is better when consumed by the refillable flagon.







Folk music is fun, but Morris dancers are bizarre.




We danced. We drank. We had a merry time. Then we fell asleep on the train home. I’ll call that a successful day.
