Family Water Safety Fun Day – Hosted by Kent Fire and Rescue Service
Join Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 July for a brand-new Water Safety Fun Day — a family-friendly event designed to help keep you safe around water.
Kent has one of the highest rates of water-related incidents in the UK. That’s why KFRS is hosting this exciting day out, packed with fun activities, games, and the chance to meet firefighters — all while sharing vital water safety advice.
It will have the same fun, friendly feel as their usual open days – but with a water safety twist!
The event is also being hosted in a stunning, historic setting of Tonbridge Castle, right next to the River Medway.
