Is there a better way to spend a weekend than walking around in the sunshine lapping up art, music and beer?

If there is, it didn’t really bother anyone at the Something for The Weekend Festival in Gravesend.

Hundreds turned out to St Andrew’s Gardens on Saturday and Sunday to enjoy a host of live acts – including Scott Elvis, Fiddlefit and Vocalise – browse arts and crafts stalls; sample great food and refresh themselves at the real ale and cider festival at the Three Daws pub.

Organised by Gravesham Arts, the free festival also included a vintage market and photographic exhibition.

There was also live music at the Riva bar.

At the Town Pontoon, there was the chance to explore two vintage boats moored up – The Massey Shaw was built in 1935 as a fireboat for the Thames and saw wartime service at Dunkirk; and The MT Kent, built in Rochester in 1948.
