The day before MG Fest ’26 you can enjoy a scenic road run at the South East Centre’s Summer Event which will take you from near Brands Hatch to Lullingstone Castle.
The run begins at the Woodlands Garden Centre, Ash (TN15 7EG) just a couple of miles along the road from Brands Hatch. When you arrive you can have a coffee or breakfast in the Twig & Spoon restaurant and have a look at the Kent Firefighting Museum which is on site.
We’ll then head off from 10.30 to 11am for a scenic drive through the Kent countryside taking in scenic villages on the circular route.
The finish will be at the privately owned Lullingstone Castle where we have been invited to park on the lawns in front of the house itself. There is entry to the house itself and the World Garden and there will be a pop up cafe available as well, or simply enjoy a picnic in the grounds.
This is the South East Centre’s Summer Event and we will be holding a Pride of Ownership and Concours competition immediately in front of the house.
There are many hotels and B&Bs in the area or you can camp at Brands Hatch itself should you wish to make a weekend at MG Fest ’26.
