Multi gold and platinum-selling artist, Billy Ocean, has been announced as the headliner for this year's Lawnfest.

Selling over 30 million records during his 26yr career, firm favourites include 'Love Really Hurts', 'When the Going Gets Tough' and 'Get Outta My Dreams; Get into My Car'.  

Lawnfest, the one-day family festival, will back for its fifth year on July 6th, 2013 at The New West Heath School, Sevenoaks, Kent. Encapsulating all that is wonderful and magical about family festivals Lawnfest is truly one of summer’s hidden gems. Loved by festivalgoers of every generation, this is the perfect family day out in every sense of the word.  The festival was set up as a non-profit event to help fund bursaries for The New West Heath School, a charity that helps rebuild the lives of traumatised children.

Set across 32 acres of the Kent countryside, Lawnfest welcomes back the very popular Kids’ Garden area and musical heroes Man Like Me. Joining Man Like Me on the main stage will be Josephine, Sam Gray, Lulu James and BBC Kent’s very own and host for the day, Sean Rowley, plus more acts will be announced. Throughout the day a fine medley of fun filled happenings will keep all the family entertained. The festival attracts many famous faces including the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna. In the Lawnfest Village, a selection of food and drinks will be available alongside the Lawnfest Boutique and very special raffle. What more could you ask for on a summer’s day?

Kids’ Garden area will delight children with clownish capers, playful pranks, arts, and crafts, and extremely entertaining workshops; it’s always fun in the Kids’ Garden. Watch out for the giant grizzly bear and a very special teddy bears’ picnic. 

Lanwfest’s Food is de-li-cious. The Street Kitchen silver airstream van will be there to make mouth-watering burgers fit for any king or queen. Pizza connoisseurs, Fox and Raisin, will be sparking up their vintage Citroen’s wood fired pizza oven and will certainly look the part alongside Kissmycake’s vintage ice-cream van Bluebelle selling luxury ice-creams. The Cocktail Club Emporium make their first appearance at Lawnfest. Expect a divine range of mouth watering and unusual gin and vodka champagne infusions. Violet’s Vintage Teas make a welcome return with English tea served in delicate bone china with scones and cake. And remember it's obligatory to get your vintage look from Violet’s vintage dressing-up box.
