insideKENT Magazine Issue 50 - May 2016 | Page 8

welcome I always look forward to this time of year. Not only because of the (mostly) pleasant weather, but because our May and June issues are centred on creativity and food – two of my very favourite things; and what better place to live than in Kent, which is quite possibly the best place in the world to get your fix of both. I may be a bit biased, but hey, work with me here... This month, art is the topic du jour, and what a fine topic it is. From sculpture to crafts, festivals to films, if you love all things artistic, head over to p21 for over 40 pages of creative goodness. Some things you don’t want to miss are our 10-page festivals feature (p42), our Kent art gallery map (p38) and my top pick, Filmed in Kent, highlighting many of the TV programmes and movies that have an interesting (and sometimes surprising) tie to Kent (p29). Not the creative type? Perhaps a bit more structured and organised? Check out our Spring Clean Your Life feature starting on p99 featuring tips to spring clean your health with trainer Jessie Pavelka, spring clean your wardrobe with Emma Burke, and spring clean your home with celebrity designer Celia Sawyer. Don’t forget we have you covered for fashion (p91), food (p75), events (p64), days out (p111) and our monthly 10 Best list (p162) – this issue covering the 10 best summer festival luxuries. I mean, who could possibly go to a summer festival without a mood lighting solar LED lantern? As always, we’d love to hear from you on Facebook and Twitter @insideKENT – let us know what you’re up to this month, and we’ll see you in June for your fill of all things Kent food (what could possibly be better?).
