ituated in the town centre between Maidstone East Station and Maidstone Museum, Brenchley Gardens provides an oasis of calm in contrast to the bustling shopping streets. The Victorian bandstand is the venue for Sunday afternoon concerts during the summer as well as other events throughout the year. Brenchley Gardens is a public park of 2 hectares (4.9 acres), laid out to the 1871 plans of Alexander McKenzie. Its features include a Victorian bandstand and a war memorial designed by Edwin Lutyens. The cenotaph stands near to the original bandstand and space has been found for several displaced urban artefacts. Trees shade the garden and a good range of flowering and evergreen shrubs give interestthroughout the year. The tradition of colourful bedding schemes persists, as do the rose beds, a scented garden and the carpet bedding displays by the entrance. The park is highly valued by the residents and visitors, shoppers and office-workers of Maidstone.
