Calling all residents in Ashford!

We are excited to announce that Kent Fire and Rescue Service will be taking to the road in June with a number of Neighbourhood Meet and Greets. These events will have all the elements of our usual Fire Station Open Days but will be based in the heart of your community.

On Thursday 20 June 2024 a Neighbourhood Meet and Greet will take place at Victoria Park, Ashford.

Families and friends are invited to come along and meet firefighters and other staff while taking part in an exciting afternoon full of activities including The Byrnes Family Show, jump on board a fire engine, meet our partners including the Police, Ambulance, Coastguard, RNLI and more; and lots of opportunities to learn about keeping the whole family safe.

The Neighbourhood Meet and Greet will be open from 3pm to 6pm, spaces are completely FREE but tickets MUST BE BOOKED in advance.

It is essential you book your FREE tickets for each member of your family via our dedicated link.  Demand for tickets may be high, so if you book yours and find out later that you are unable to attend, please let us know or cancel your tickets so that we can free up spaces for others.

• Food and drink – You are welcome to bring your own food and drink to the event but they also will be on offer at the Park Café at a cost
• Photography – There may be a photographer on site so please let a KFRS member at the registration desk know if you do not want to be photographed
