Saturday 26th September hopes to raiseeven more money for charity! “With over £4,335 raised for Macmillan Cancer Support, last year’s festival was such a huge success that we thought we would do it all again this year! This year, with so many charities to choose from, we let the festival organising committee nominate which charity we should support.” explained Head Brewer at Hall & Woodhouse, Toby Heasman. “It was a tough call to make, so one charity became four! This year we are pleased to announce that we will be supporting Dorset Air Ambulance, Alzheimer’s Society, Teddy 20 and the Blandford Opportunity group”.This year’s event will have live music from Dorset based band ‘Selective Hearing’; playing classics from the 50’s to the present day.
