Ticket holders have been invited to attend between 12.30pm and 2pm at a location yet to be confirmed.

Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab, who has backed Sunak in the race for the Tory leadership, will also visit Kent on the same day, with party members invited to meet him at Petham near Canterbury on Friday morning.

He will then move on to Rochester, where members are invited at 12.30pm.

Bookmakers still have Sunak's rival Liz Truss as favourite, with indications suggesting she has the larger backing among party members.

The pair are touring the UK before Tory members vote for their next leader, with the result being announced on September 5.
