AN annual music festival in aid of Primrose Hospice has been given the go-ahead in Bromsgrove this weekend.

Orchard Fest is usually a whole weekender but will be held as a one-day event this year on Saturday (September 5) due to ongoing coronavirus restrictions.

Organisers of the festival - held at Puddle Wharf Farm in Redditch Road - say, however, that overnight campers will be welcome.

The festival runs from 1-11pm with other entertainment on offer as well as food outlets and bars.

"Bring your chairs for your own Orchard 'bubble'," said social distancing conscious organisers.

Tickets cost £20, with under-10s free, and are available online at www.ticketsource.co.uk
