2 Looping the Loop Festival, Margate

Saturday, November 3 from 11am to 4pm

Having left their capsule, the stranded space cadets will be floating in the most peculiar way around Thanet, hoping to find their way home.

If you spot them in Margate's Old Town, why not help find their ship?

Or visit the Turner Contemporary and take your very own trip in the MadVentureVan space rocket.

Blast off and see the stars, dodge meteorites and discover aliens, if fireworks aren't really your thing.
