Maid of Stone Festival...what is getting into town like after?

Hi. We are in the highlands of Scotland and we are thinking of trying to get to this festival. At 60yo we have decided that we are too old for camping, from the highlands we have decided that campervan is too far to drive. Likely to fly to Gatwick from Inverness and take the train from there. Looking at the map Maidstone has a lot of hotels to choose from, but I wonder what the links into town will be like at the end of the night from Mote Park to any hotel? We are both fit for 60, can walk for a fair distance.

Can anyone let me drive their car around a car park to help me learn how to park?

Basically I have a driving test soon, my parking sucks. I drive manual, my family dont. I driven a lot before so I’m not gonna crash lol I only want to drive around in a car park to practice my parking anyways. You can be in the car with me. I’m also willing to pay of course. I’m 21m. Let me know if anyone would be kind enough for this. :)

What nicknames are there for places in and around Maidstone?

Like how the town itself could be Maidy or Mad-stone or called Maidscum by rivals, or anagrammatized into IAmStoned. Tovil Hovel is one I heard recently

What happened to Maidstone?

What the hell happened to the nightlife in Maidstone? I grew up here and Friday nights were always legendary! I went out here last night for the first time in years and everything was completely dead by about 11pm… Really quite sad to see.

21m, looking for friends

Hello to whoever is reading this. My friends are busy with their lives and work and this made me realise I lack friends lol (mostly cause of my social anxiety). Tbh, I’m looking for a long-term friends, someone who won’t ghost. Someone who’s nice and friendly :)

I like anime, tv shows and YouTube. I love Pokemon. I also like to cook even tho I’m not that good but I’m trying lol. I like travelling and exploring new places. My hobbies vary a lot so we probably will find something in common. I like having fun and friendly conversations. And I think I’m a good listener. I’m very awkward so, sorry if I’m bad with replies or slow lol. I probably do want to chat with you.

I’m 21 male from England Kent so I would like to chat someone who is similar age and in the same country and I don’t mind which gender :D

Looking for things to do in Maidstone, date ideas.

So I’m a northerner, I’m coming down to Maidstone this weekend for a couple days to see a woman I’ve met previously. I’ve never been to Maidstone so other than bars and food spots that I’ve seen online I was wondering what other fun things are there to do here? Activities/experiences ect..

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

MacBook Repair

Can somebody recommend a good repair shop for a MacBook that had liquid spilled on the keyboard?

It’s still working but some of the keys are a bit “sticky” and difficult to use.

My fear is that I’ll leave it with a repair shop and they will make it worse!

Recommendations gratefully received 😊

Parking

We are moving to the area, does anyone have any experience of getting a parking permit. We will need to apply but I was wondering what happens whilst we wait for the permit. Do not want to be bombarded with tickets while we wait for it to arrive?

E-SCOOTER getting confiscated/seized by police in town center with no prior warning

Got my E-scooter seized by police today with no previous warning.

For context, got it as a gift from my brother, went to get some medicine from boots for a relative. Rode the scooter to boots.

I was* walking* back from boots as it was closed, copper says ' you're walking now but the cameras saw you on it ', proceeds to tell me they will have to seize it without warning as it's not legal to ride without insurance.

Asked how to get insurance as I've never heard of that and it's a gift. Says it's impossible to get insurance.

Pretty mean to just take someone's gift without any previous notice or warning

Basically got robbed in broad daylight lmao.

New to the UK, looking for people to party with this weekend!

Hey all, I'm relatively new to the UK, I moved over from Australia. I'm keen to meet new people and go out and party, hopefully this Saturday night but other weekends work too. I have only made a few friends since being here and they are busy this weekend, so I thought why not meet new people.

I am a 26yo guy, but I am open to join in with anyone. I am very open to anything, happy to have a more chill night or a wild af night 🤣

Maidstone or Rochester preferred. Let me know if you're keen, looking forward to it!

Nice low-crime areas for a family with young children

Hi,

We are planning to move away from London towards Maidstone and looking for some recommendations on what are the nice and quite areas in London.

We have 2 young boys (primary school) and looking for a suburb with low-crime, and easy access to schools. I have to commute to London occasionally, so somewhat close to a station is preferred but this is not a must.

My research points towards Bearsted, Detling area. But someone mentioned Penenden Heath and it seems much more affordable compared to Bearsted. There are some nice properties listed along Boxley road area and would love to hear your thoughts about this area.
