Made In Aylesham is a celebration of local community power! The festival offers residents, new and old, the chance to connect with many of the clubs, groups, activities and local businesses that are available in the village.
Whether you're looking to learn about the village past and present, are interested in joining a hobby group, or would just like to get more involved, this event offers a welcoming space to drop-in meet the local businesses and organisers, to ask questions and take the first steps on getting to know some of the people and places a bit better.
The Community Showcase is the main event and will take place on Saturday 13th September between 10am and 2pm right next to the Old School Coffee Shop which will also be open from 10am until 2pm too.
