More about Borstal

Kent, England

Borstal sits quietly in Kent with a village hall that has been the local heartbeat for years. The Borstal Village Hall hosts everything from community workshops to family nights without needing to shout about it. It is a place where neighbours meet and catch up on what's going on down the road. You can find your next gig, fair, or film night right here in the village. We keep the calendar updated so you do not have to waste time hunting for local fun. Just pop over when you have a spare hour and see who is performing this weekend.
