🎶☀️A huge thank you to The Old Country Crows for a fantastic Summer Sundays concert. Their blend of country and folk provided the perfect soundtrack to a sunny afternoon by the sea.

It was great to see so many people enjoying the music, relaxing with friends and family, and making the most of another brilliant day at The Oval. Combined with the Cliftonville Classic Car Show on the lawns, there was a real buzz around the venue all day.

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported our not-for-profit community venue. Every ticket sold helps us continue investing in The Oval and delivering affordable community events throughout the summer.

Next Sunday we're delighted to welcome Electric Hoarse to the bandstand for an afternoon of classic rock, indie and post-rock inspired live music.

See you next week!

🚗☀️ What a fantastic day at The Oval! ☀️🚗

A huge thank you to Ramsgate Old Motor & Motorcycle Club for once again bringing the Cliftonville Classic Car Show to The Oval Bandstand & Lawns. And thank you for the fab video CommunityAd!

The sunshine certainly helped, but it was wonderful to see so many people out enjoying the day, admiring the incredible collection of classic vehicles, catching up with friends, and making the most of our beautiful seafront setting. 🌊

There was a real buzz across the site all day, with the lawns full of visitors and plenty of people also enjoying live music in the bandstand from The Old Country Crows, who provided the perfect soundtrack. 🎸🤠

A big thank you to all the exhibitors who brought along their pride and joy, the volunteers and organisers who worked so hard behind the scenes, and everyone who came along to support the event. Events like this are only possible because of the enthusiasm and dedication of so many people.

We're delighted to confirm that the Cliftonville Classic Car Show will return to The Oval on Sunday 9 August, when we'll once again be welcoming a wonderful selection of classic vehicles to the lawns.

And that's not all...

As part of our Summer Sundays concert series, we'll also be welcoming Taking Care of Vegas to the bandstand for an afternoon of live music from 2pm to 4pm. 🎶

It was a pleasure to meet Deborah yesterday evening after she arrived in Margate as part of her incredible journey around the English coast.

Starting out in Liverpool and travelling the coastline one step at a time, her adventure is a wonderful reminder of the people, places and stories that make our coastline so special.

Wishing Deborah the very best of luck for the rest of her journey. An inspiration to many, and we look forward to following her progress along the way.
