'B' Festival - Friday 15 & Saturday 16 July 2011
Clifton & Co were one of the sponsors of the B-Festival for the 2nd year running.
B-Festival is a music festival held in the heart of Kent’s countryside born out of a family garden party which has helped to raise thousands for local and national charities. The event brings together an eclectic line up of talent. Including multi-million record selling band Toploader, who headlined on Friday 15th July. Previous bands have included the genuine Drifters and Heatwave. The event grows every year and really is a well staged and managed local music festival for all ages, with licensed bar, bbq and hog roast.
Thank you from the organisers:
‘We are very sorry for not reporting back before now on how the 2011 Festival went, very remiss of me, as you are probably aware we staged our first Friday night concert with young local bands and Toploader as the 'headline', even though the numbers weren't quite what we had hoped for it was a great night and opened the concert up to more local people, there was definitely enough encouragement for us to run it again next year so keep your eyes open for the line-up.
The Saturday event was huge fun again with all the bands doing a superb job - I know that some of you have spotted 'Kitty' on the X Factor, she was our Lady Gaga - we have got some video clips that I intended to put on Youtube but so far the technology has defeated me.......I'll get one of my children on the case!
I am glad to report that the event raised over £10,200 for Help for Heroes, I will be in touch shortly with information on next year.
Thank you all for your continued support for The B Festival.’
Hartley Jazz Picnic - Sunday 26 June 2011
We would like to thank Mr & Mrs C from New Ash Green who were the sucessful bidders for the Sir Ian Botham signed bat & ball at £465. The Auction took place at the Annual Arthritis Research Jazz Picnic which took place on Sunday 26 June 2011 at Manor Fields, Hartley, Kent. Photo shows Clifton Button, Managing Director - Clifton & Co Estate Agents and his daughters Harley & Sienna collecting the bat & ball from Sir Ian Botham for the Auction.
On Sunday, 26th June as temperatures soared into the 30’s hundreds of people gathered on Manor Field, Hartley. After almost two weeks of rain and what looked like low ticket sales the event turned out to be bigger and better than ever.
Repeat visitors joined those coming along for the first time, impressed by the whole organisation and enjoying the live music from Mike Richards Big Band, Radio Rythmakers and swing from Shane Hampsheir in the afternoon sun. Alan Dedicoat, Voice of the Lottery Balls, was there to lend his inimitable presence, and chat to the crowd. Laura Hamilton (children’s TV presenter and 2nd in TV’s Dancing on Ice this year) attended with her family and shaved the moustache of Organiser David Brooks, raising £500 in sponsorship. In addition there was a Hog Roast, Pimms, Crafts, Plants, Cakes etc and Pony Rides for the children.
After the count up, organisers are thrilled to have raised a record £10,000 after all expenses for Arthritis Research UK.
Clifton & Co are proud to be main sponsors of such a successful event and look forward to being involved in the event next year.

Clifton & Co have been regular sponsors of the Priory Fete, St Francis De Sales, Hartley since opening the office in 2009.
‘Thank you for arranging the appearance and disappearance of advertising boards at many locations in and around Hartley towards the end of May! The event went off very successfully on 25th May, helped significantly by the advance publicity and discussion prompted by the "Clifton" boards’
Maypole Primary School, Bexley Park, Balloon Race - Friday 8 April 2011
Clifton & Co were proud sponsors of a local primary school Balloon Race on Friday 8th April. Head Teacher, Mrs Willman commented, “The Balloon Race was a wonderful end to the term. There was lots of excitement as the children watched over 600 balloons rising high in the sky. I can’t remember when we have had such a lovely day for the event! Many thanks to Clifton & Co Estate Agents for supplying the balloons and the helium gas.”
The blue and white Clifton & Co branded balloons were let loose into a beautiful cloud-free sky raising approximately £500 for the school fund. The balloons were tagged and there will be a prize for the one travelling the furthest.

Hartley Jazz Picnic - Sunday 27 June 2010
England 1 Jazz Picnic 10/10
Having sponsored the jazz picnic on its 10th anniversary and looking forward to attending what a dilemma lay before us when England were drawn against Germany on Sunday the 27 June 2010. However, commitment made we spent a balmy, lazy Sunday afternoon on Manor Field in Hartley amongst a fantastic crowd of people of all ages. Quintessentially an English summer picnic with a glass of Pimms in hand, there was the added attraction of superb live music from Radio Rhythmakers, Mike Richards Big Band and local crooner Shane Hampshire and not forgetting the children there was a bouncy castle, face painting etc. After hearing the football score the right decision was definitely made, there was more passion coming from the artists and bands on Manor Field than was on the pitch in South Africa. It’s the organizers that make it such a great occasion and we were happy to support such a worthwhile charity ‘Arthritis Research UK’ with advertising boards, balloons and a contribution to the Charity.
