Country: What's On This Weekend
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BABIES, FOSSILS and crocodiles will be represented at the Herne Bay Festival today. Find out who is the bonniest at the Baby Show, then join the Great Shark's Tooth Hunt which is part of the Fossil Roadshow - bits of Ice Age mammoth and rhinoceros have been uncovered in this part of the Kentish coast.
There also is an exhibition of Punch and Judy puppets and ephemera, plenty of music and great theatre. Later on you can renew your energy by eating lobster royale at the Seawise restaurant, relax at a country and western evening and be amazed by the pyrotechnic display over the bay.
The Herne Bay Festival runs until 16 August. Saturday events include: Baby Show, 2pm, Christchurch Hall; Fossil Roadshow, 3pm, Clocktower Plaza; country and western evening, 7-11pm, King's Hall; pyrotechnics, 9.30pm, on the sea front. The World of Punch and Judy runs until 29 August at the Library Gallery. For further information, call 01227 742690
