The hugely popular Capel Music Festival will be launching on Saturday 18th May with a number of pre-events featuring great music, food, raffle prizes and a fantastic atmosphere. Proceeds from the pre-events will go to St Catherine’s Hospice, The Studio ADHD Centre and a number of small local charities, all of whom will also benefit from the actual festival itself.

The first pre-event on 18th May takes place at The Crown in Capel from 6pm onwards. Entry is free and there’ll be live music and a raffle with some great prizes up for grabs.

On 8th June, the pre-event is being staged at Treetops in Capel from midday until late. Once again, entry is free and there’ll be loads of live bands and refreshments including a hog roast. All proceeds from this event will go to St Catherine’s Hospice.

It’s then back to The Crown in Capel on 20th July where bands will be on stage from 4pm onwards. Entry is free and there’ll be a BBQ and a raffle. The Crown’s Open Mic night will also be running from 5pm to 8pm so there’ll be plenty of talent on display.

On 10th August, it’s off to the Inn on the Green in Ockley for live music, good pub food and a raffle. Once again, entry is free.

Finally, we’re delighted to announce that we’ll be holding a final exciting pre-event in Capel on 17th August. Further details to follow but please save the date.

The actual Capel Music Festival will take place on 18th August from midday onwards with an after party at The Crown. We’re currently recruiting volunteers for the festival and also for the pre-event on 8th June so please get in touch with Dawn Hinton on 07730 584 871 if you are able to help. Please also contact Dawn if you are able to donate any prizes for the raffles.
