Mick Ryan and Pete Harris Tenterden, situated in the ancient Weald of Kent, about 12 miles west of Ashford, is an ideal venue for this friendly, family folk festival. It features one of the widest High Streets in the country and the majority of the buildings are of historic interest and many are listed buildings.
