Gala Dinner & Drinks Reception

Dedicated to celebrating and advancing the construction sector in the region, the Kent Construction EXPO is the ultimate showcase of this dynamic industry. It serves as a pivotal platform for networking, engaging discussions, exploring innovative solutions, and recognising outstanding achievements.

This year, the exclusive Drinks Reception was available only to Gala Dinner attendees, providing an intimate setting to connect with the Kent construction community before the main event.

And the highlight of the night? An unmissable live set from James Dowdeswell – storytelling stand up comedian and writer. James is the leading comedian in the world on the subjects of beer, wine and pubs, and author of the award-winning book ‘The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian Stands Up For Pubs’.

He is erudite, off the cuff and clean, intelligent and razor sharp. As seen on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC) and Extras (BBC). James tours extensively in the UK and across the world, and he enjoys a drink – especially wine.

With special thanks to our Drinks Reception Sponsor, DHA. Get in touch with the team to explore Gala Dinner Sponsorship.
