MMF Talk - Step into the Past - Maidstone: A Thousand Year Story

Thursday 5th FEBRUARY

All around Kent, history radiates kings in castles and clergy in cathedrals but in Maidstone, the history is different – it’s the story of the average hardworking commoner.

If there is a fight to be fought, a brilliant idea to be grappled with and brought to life or, when called upon, the ultimate sacrifice to be made for country or beliefs, then it’s the people of Maidstone who step forward.

Come and hear from Daren Russell some tales from the last 1000 years, but be warned, they may inspire you to make a difference tomorrow.
