A big thank you on behalf of Hope House
Hope House has counted the money they collected on Sunday and it was a record £1,578. Its stall made £460 and with the donation of £1 for every adult weekend ticket sold from us, they're on course to beat last year's total of £5,396. Over the past four years we will have raised more than £20,000 for music therapy that helps the children communicate and express themselves. The hospice receives NO other funding for music therapy so every penny you help to raise is important. So thanks for your generosity - it will truly make a difference.

Programmes
The festival programmes have arrived, so if you ordered a programme when you purchased your festival tickets, then this should be delivered to you by the weekend.
One small change this year, every programme has a small pocket sized insert that has an at-a-glance 4 day schedule for the two main marquees, Sabrina and the dance marquee - hopefully this will make planning a little easier and mean you don't have to keep a programme with you at all times!
