A brand new one-day summer festival is to be held on the Isle of Wight this August, all in aid of The Wight Brainy Bunch.
‘Warrior Festival’ will see a whole host of local bands come together at Sandown Airport on 7th August to support The Wight Brainy Bunch, a charity that provides support and financial assistance to families affected by brain tumours.
Toby Sleight, organiser of the festival, has said:
“When a close friend was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, I was blown away by the huge amount of support given by the Wight Brainy Bunch; they eased so many burdens that came with travelling for treatment and we really want to be able to give back so they can continue their incredible work supporting people.
“What was originally intended to just be a fundraising gig snowballed into this festival as people rallied round to offer their help and support of The Wight Brainy Bunch. We are so thankful for everything they’ve done and continue to do for us and others.”
The family-friendly festival invites everyone to enjoy a fun-filled day with a huge array of food options, bars and live music from the likes of Hashtag, Close to Home, The Ohmz, Foo FighterZ and many more.
To keep things affordable for families, tickets are priced at just £10 and under 12s go free. Tickets can be purchased at https://book.events/warriorfestival/2021-08-07/29882. All proceeds will be going to The Wight Brainy Bunch.
