Kent (East) branch

Welcome to the Kent (East) Branch of The Western Front Association.

Everyone is welcome to come along to our meetings. You do not have to be a WFA member.

WFA branches are self-supporting so we welcome a donation from those attending.

We do encourage people to join the WFA because the benefits are many and valuable to anyone interested in, studying or researching, the First World War.

We meet on the first Tuesday of each month.

After the presentation, but before the Q&A session with the speaker, we have a break with refreshments and a raffle.

There is a small car park at the back of the hall, this is free but fills very quickly. There is a chargeable car park next door, with plenty of spaces.
