Our Events

Our Star is a ‘talisman’ for those in the UK who want to live in a community of nations and abide by the ideals of the EU.

In 2023 Our Star's Trek was initiated at the European Parliament in Brussels in September and then Our Star travelled around the UK with civic receptions, local events and Forums for the Future discussions.

Our star is in Hayfield at the Festival of Outdoor for All marking the 92^nd anniversary of the KINDER TRESPASS to highlight the EU's commitment to standards for clean water, environmental protection, equality of all people and citizens rights.

You can find Our Star in the Village Hall at the Hope for Europe stall. Sign up there to become a member of our friendly group.

See https://kindertrespass.org.uk/kinder-trespass-92nd-anniversary/ for more information about the Festival.

East Kent for Europe is planning to celebrate the 30 year anniversary by reciprocal day return visits through the Channel tunnel. Calais is keen to host groups from Kent on May 4, and we plan to offer Kent hospitality to their groups on May 5. 

We see this as an opportunity to make a media splash about our cross-Channel links, and highlight the benefits that the Channel tunnel has given us. So are you free to join us on May 4, crossing the Channel by Shuttle,  with posters about those benefits  ?!

In Calais:

Large sandy beaches for family picnics

A nearby skate park, and another for BMX

A lace museum with fine chronology of fashion

Musee de Beaux Arts,

Bleriot memorial site, for views across the channel

The Dragon – a metal monster to frighten the holiday crowds

Wine-tasting

The cheapest way to travel is in a full private car (about £50 each for car of 4 passengers) by the Shuttle. You would need to manage your own booking and have valid passport.

The street stall is held as part of the European Movement's "LET'S FACE THE MUSIC CAMPAIGN" and to promote the concert we are organising on Thurs 30 May in Stratford upon Avon. Brexit has proved a huge blow to British musicians who can not now travel and work freely across Europe.
