LATEST NEWS FROM THE AUDIOJUMBLE...

Date Details
14/09/2024

We are very excited to announce that the next Audiojumble on Sunday 2nd March 2025 will be held at a new venue!

The Angel Centre in Tonbridge has been our home for 27 years and has been an important part of our history but, for the reasons detailed below, we need to look to the future. We have spent the last few months investigating many alternative sites across the South East and we are very pleased to confirm that we will be moving to the K2 Crawley, in West Sussex.

What are the benefits of the new venue?

  • A much larger hall (70% larger than the total floorspace of the Angel Centre halls combined)
  • A better layout, allowing the event to be held in a huge single space, rather than being spread across multiple areas
  • Ample FREE parking spaces plus a large overflow car park (and parking marshals on hand to assist)
  • A professional on-site café serving hot and cold food (with large dedicated seating area)
  • A modern venue, with excellent facilities including significantly more toilets, improved circulation areas for socialising, plus an Olympic-sized 50m pool for anyone wishing to take a dip!

Why move away from the Angel Centre in Tonbridge?

  • New parking charges: Until recently, parking at the Angel Centre was free-of-charge on Sundays. However, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council have now introduced charges on Sundays between the hours of 8am and 8pm. The new parking fee is £6.40 for the first 4 hours, plus £3.20 for each additional hour thereafter, meaning that a typical Audiojumble attendee parking from 8:00am – 4:00 pm would have to pay £19.20 to park during the event. We felt this significant extra cost to all Audiojumble attendees travelling by car was unsustainable.
  • The future of the Angel Centre is in doubt: A recent report commissioned by the council regarding the future of the Angel Centre appears to show a possibility that the entire building may be demolished to make way for residential properties on the site. With the real prospect of the Angel Centre closing in the coming years, we had no option but to look for alternative venues in order to safeguard the future of the Audiojumble.

Where is the K2?

When can I book a stall?

  • We will open for stallholder bookings in mid-January 2025.
  • If you are on our mailing list, you will receive a booking form via e-mail at this time.
  • Further details about the new venue, including layouts and access routes, will be issued in due course.

We are looking forward to the next event at the K2 Crawley being the largest ever Audiojumble in its 33-year history! We hope you will be able to join us on Sunday 2nd March 2025 at the new venue to be part of this exciting new chapter.

One of the Audiojumble organisers, Richard Howes, is running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London on 13th October 2024, in aid of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

As some of you may know, Richard's eldest daughter, Sophie, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in December 2022, when she was just six years old. To read more about this, or to sponsor Richard, please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/richardhowes2024
