“This is our 28^th festival and this year we’ve doubled in size with a bigger venue and more beer, more cider, more bars and more seating.

“We are more than happy to name the hospice as our chosen charity and it’s great to hear that they have a band of volunteers all set to help us make the festival the best yet.”

George Chilvers, St Nicholas Hospice Care’s Community Fundraising Manager, said:

“We would like to say a big cheers to the festival organisers for choosing to fundraise for the Hospice.
