LOVE WEST KEN

Let’s celebrate the local - we have a lot to celebrate.

In July ‘22 and July ‘23 we hosted LOVE WEST KEN, a day to celebrate all things local. The event was designed as a special day to celebrate our community together. Over 700 people attended this year’s event and we had such a brilliant time! Thank you so much to everyone who came and took part in Love West Ken.
