Days of Syn 2026:

28 - 31^st August

Yes, the 'Day' still covers four days! (OK, the 28^th isn't on the poster.)

Events

Please buy a programme: details of event times and places, plus competitions, Syn character bios, games and history. And it helps to fund the event.
Programmes are on sale from the The Smuggler's Chest, The Hidden Treasure Micropub and Dymchurch Royal British Legion, from the 14th

• Friday 28^th Lantern Parade (Sea Wall), Beacon Lighting & Fireworks
• Saturday 29^th Parade, Fête, Musket & Canon Battles, Live Music, Meet the Synners!
• Sunday 30^th Parade, Fête, Musket & Canon Battles, Live Music, Meet the Synners!
• Monday 31^st Music, Morris, Sea Shanties and story telling

N.B. On the Friday there is a Lantern making session, from noon. Don't know where!

For locals there is the Scarecrow Festival. Ideally display it for the week-end (or longer?), then take it on the Sunday Parade for judging on the recreation field. Cash prizes!

But the Competition poster suggest that non-locals can take part?

Emma Batten

Authoress of three Dymchurch novels will be around the town for the Syn week-end:

Her workshops are on hiatus, pro temp, resuming in September.

Dymchurch Amusements

Apart from staying open 'late', until school resumes, on Sunday 30^th there is free face-painting and free kid's Disco.

Also FREE fun goodies all weekend (while stocks last)!
