Dartford’s Central Park is set to buzz with excitement as the much-anticipated Big Day Out returns for two days of non-stop entertainment for all the family this weekend.

On July 13 and 14, this free event promises a wide range of activities and performances for all ages.

Headlining the event is Toploader, who will captivate the audience on Saturday, July 13, with their timeless hit "Dancing in the Moonlight."

The musical line-up also features spectacular tribute acts honouring Harry Styles, Girls Aloud, and the Beach Boys, along with local sensation Beer Pressure.

One of the highlights of the Big Day Out is the return of the popular steam rally, organized by Colin Wheeler.

This exhibition will showcase a stunning array of historic and vintage vehicles, providing a unique opportunity for visitors to explore and appreciate the engineering marvels of the past.

Families will find plenty to enjoy at the Outdoor Theatre’s Kids' Zone, which offers fully inclusive play areas.

Children can look forward to an array of activities, including interactive performances and a chance to meet lifelike roaming dinosaurs.

Cohesion Plus will enhance the festive atmosphere with exciting giveaways and additional roaming entertainment throughout the event.
