Kent County Council is supporting £1 Arriva bus travel to the Maidstone River Festival, a free event along the River Medway.
Kent County Council is backing £1 fares on Arriva buses for anyone heading to the Maidstone River Festival this year, according to KCC. The event takes place along the River Medway in Maidstone town centre and is free to attend for all visitors.
The £1 fare is designed to make the festival accessible to families and residents from across the county and beyond. Passengers are expected to be able to access the discounted fare by travelling on participating Arriva bus services into Maidstone town centre on the festival dates. KCC’s wider Travel Saver scheme, which aims to encourage residents to use public transport for leisure and community events, is understood to underpin the initiative.
The Maidstone River Festival is one of Kent’s largest free community events, drawing visitors from across the county each year to enjoy entertainment, activities, and displays along the banks of the River Medway. Residents are advised to check the official KCC and Maidstone River Festival announcements for confirmed dates and specific travel details ahead of the event.
