And if you can't get tickets or don't you can enjoy Iwade Rock from your garden! Every other year it's literally a hot ticket have fun!

Southern Gas Networks are closing the main roads through Iwade during August as follows:

• From Monday 3rd August there will be a FULL ROAD CLOSURE on The Street from School Lane corner to just before The Woolpack, note this means you can get to the Woolpack Iwade Barn All Saints Church and Iwade Cemetery from the Sheppey entrance into Iwade
• Following The Street there will be FULL ROAD CLOSURE outside Iwade Village Hall hopefully open again by Friday 26th August

The new Iwade Village Hall is being built at the entrance to Iwade as you come in from the A249 flyover. What do you think of the location? The footings are in and there is daily progress. The old Iwade Village Hall opposite the Post Office will be demolished once the new Village Hall has been signed off so Iwade will not be without and Tinkerbells Preschool will go too and have been told there will be a small garden. Watch this space for more updates as we get them.

The Woolpack reopened its doors headed up by new landlady Mel on Tuesday 23rd June 2026 and is ready to serve your drinks and/or food with a spruced up beer garden too. Quiz Nights on a Monday starting 3rd August and register your interest if you fancy Thursday night darts. Regular live music keep an eye on their socials there's live music this Friday 24th to warm you up for Iwade Rock! Dog friendly, community vibe, flowers in the beer garden, why not pop along and say hi
