For a number of years Fairseat has had an annual visit from The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company. The Rudes have been producing outdoor summer tours and taking theatre into small rural communities across Southern England from Devon to Kent since 1999. They work best where there is adjacent muck spreading, bell ringing practice or the venue is a cow shed! The 2024 visit to Fairseat in Kent on 28th July presented ’The Dressing Book’, a play set in late 18th Century Tunbridge Wells. The weather was fine and there was an excellent audience.

The following video is a short clip from the event held on the Fairseat recreation ground.
