Join Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) for a fantastic, free Water Safety Fun Day at the historic Tonbridge Castle on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 July.

This exciting two-day event is open to all ages and offers a perfect mix of fun and learning.

Packed with games, hands-on activities, and live demonstrations, it’s a great way to discover how to keep your family safe around water this summer.

Children can try throw-line rescues, explore what dangers might be lurking beneath the water’s surface, and even meet our firefighters and watch them in action!

KFRS Station Manager and water safety expert James Kitchen, said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to our Water Safety Fun Day and enjoying all the engaging activities we’ll have on offer.

“We’ll also be talking about our Make the Right Call campaign, which aims to educate people on water safety and knowing who to call if they spot someone struggling in water, so do come and say hello.

“Remember, for in-land water rescues, such as lakes or rivers, call 999 for the fire service. If you’re by the coast, ask for the coastguard.”

The event runs 11am to 4pm both days, with a quieter hour from 10am to11am for families with additional needs. If you’d like to attend this quieter session, please book a separate ticket using the same booking link.
