Also, remember you can promenade, down at Gravesend riverside.This tradition is dying out, but involves parading around in one's best attire( at a leisurely pace)in a dignified manner.
Ladies remember to ride Side saddle, if arriving by horse.

Or how about seeing top rock & soul band OCD play in Oxleas Wood at The Best Kept Secret Cafe?
It's on Sunday 24th August from 3pm with a BBQ and lashings of top music from one of Kent's best bands.

It's free entry so bring a picnic!
