Do you come out to small places like Hinxhill Park?

Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
