The rain in spain.....
.....hopefully stays there, but just in case we're really pleased to announce that Alfresco Marquees are going to be providing tenting for the event which will not only provide the tenting but lighting and all those pretty fairy lights to create a fantastic ambience to our festival.
Laura and Andy at Alfresco are almost as excited as us about the festival and are looking forward to showing us their fantastic setup as a backdrop for the festival.

Whats it all about?
Firstly to have fun! There's nothing better than enjoying music, drink, good food, great company and hopefully sunshine.
However, all proceeds from the festival will go towards raising money for replacing the childrens play equipment in Peasemore which is now over 10 years old and has been partially condemned due to the equipment deteriorating and changes of health and safety requirements.
Due to modern regulations around Health and Safety the equipment and installation is not cheap. The project will cost in the region of £25,000 to complete. Although we hope to manage to find some local funding through grants and similar we still believe we will need to find in excess of £13,000 to allow us to complete the project.
