As arguably Kent’s most successful and renowned music festival, let’s take a quick history lesson on how Neverworld came to be.
2006-2007
LeeFest began in 2006 with seven bands playing on a small stage in the garden of teenager Lee Denny’s family home on 31 August in Beckenham, London. 150 people attended and the money raised from ticket sales went to the charity Teenage Cancer Trust. The following year the festival took place again in Lee’s garden with an increase of attendees to around 350 and money raised was donated to Save The Children.
