This year we're adding an extra day to our steam and vintage vehicle rally, to celebrate Dartford's industrial heritage and links to Richard Trevithick.
The Big Day Out and Big Chill Out will be back in Central Park on on July 12 and July 13 in 2025.
This free weekend event has something for all the family, from live music on stage, a fantasitc Kids Zone, community stalls, small fairground rides, roaming dinosaurs and a great selection of food and drink.
This year we're paying special homage to Dartford's rich engineering history by extending the steam rally and vintage car fair to run across the whole weekend.
The Kids Zone will return to the Outdoor Theatre, with a whole range of actvities for children of all ages, including archery, arts and crafts, a chill out area, and sports day themed activities.
