Around a 1,000 people are expected to attend Thornborough Music festival,
meaning that there will be a band for every ten people attending! At £30.00
per head (under tens get in free), each band is costing just pennies to see;
now that has to be a bargain.
The festival also includes a film festival that includes Manga, and
audio-visual arts, a children’s area and street theatre.
The music festival also aims this year to raise money for Oxfam (who will be
getting all profits from alcohol sales) and also to raise awareness for
local Autism campaign groups.
