The pandemic may have stopped us from holding our annual Christmas concert last year, but nothing could stop us this year.

So on Thursday December 3, we were also able to fulfil our ambition to present the wonderful sounds of the Invicta Grammar school Chamber Choir to the public …

A splendid time was enjoyed by over 650 people attending the Museum Market on Saturday 4th December. There were about 25 craft stalls offering – jewels to candles, freshly baked food to Christmas cards, bird boxes to fudge –
the range of goodies was endless.

The list of exciting events for the first 6 months of next year is announced.

The events offer a variety of topics – so we can expect talks covering Aylesford to Japan, Egypt to the Symbols of Kent. Insight is provided into how the rooms of houses developed, and there is a folk evening.

THURSDAY DECEMBER 2nd, from 6PM

Start your Christmas celebrations at the Friends’ Pop-up Shop in Fremlin Walk!!
Although we could not hold this annual event last year because of Covid, we are delighted to
welcome back the brilliant Invicta Grammar School Choir, who will be performing a feast of festive music.

Fun, Fun, Fun. ’Tis the season to be jolly.

On Saturday 4th December there will be a ‘Christmas Market’ at the Museum in St. Faith’s Street.
It runs, that day, from 10am to 3pm. FREE ADMISSION.

Find that perfect present!

On Thursday 4th November Friends were treated to an excellent talk by Bill Stotesbury about the research undertaken to produce the Maidstone Wall Chart.
But, he started with a resumé of his fascinating life as a painter and designer – from his college days through to working for big companies in London.
