Shropshire music festival Alderfest has made us its charity partner for this summer’s event.

AlderFest is one of Shropshire’s biggest family music festivals, bringing together live music, family entertainment, food, activities and camping across the lakeside site at Alderford Lake.

The festival, happening over July 3rd and 4th, will be encouraging festival-goers to make donations to help local children with life-threatening conditions and their families to live their best life.

Alongside brilliant headline acts such as Jess Glynne, Professor Green, Artful Dodger and Ultrabeat, Hope House will have a presence at the festival.

Our fundraiser Bethan Young said: We’re delighted to be AlderFest’s charity partner this year and can’t wait to be part of what promises to be an incredible weekend.

“We’ll have a festival pop-up shop on site where people can shop sustainably and complete their look with pre-loved fashion and accessories. We’ll also be selling practical festival items such as umbrellas, chairs and other essentials.

“There will be a range of craft sessions and jewellery upcycling workshops, giving people the chance to learn new skills and discover how sustainable shopping supports charity.

“And of course, the Hope House Hippo will be there for photos, meet-and-greets and to help spread the word about the vital work we do.”

All donations and sales at our festival pop up will go towards supporting local children and families.

Festival Deputy Manager Zoe Watson said: “We’re incredibly pleased to welcome Hope House as AlderFest’s exclusive charity partner for this year’s festival.

“The work they do for children and families across our region is truly exceptional, and we’re passionate about helping to spread their message far and wide.

“We can’t wait for festivalgoers to enjoy everything they’ll be bringing to the weekend, from creative craft and upcycling sessions to meeting the wonderful Hope House Hippo. We’re proud to support such an inspiring charity and look forward to working together to make a real difference.”
