Bungay Beer Festival raises £3451 for EACH Charity

The Bungay Beer and Music Festival was held at the Maltings Pavillion on the weekend of May 26-28.

Organiser Stuart Buck said the festival attracted thousands of people and raised £3,451 for East Anglian Children's Hospices (EACH).

Mr Buck said: "To everyone who supported our chosen charity this year, thank you very much indeed.

"It's taken a little time, however, I'm delighted to say that we raised £3,451 for East Anglian Children's Hospices between us. Fantastic effort.

"As you can see from Ellie, their community organiser, they really appreciate it along with all of us from Bungay Beer and Music Festival.

"Thanks again to our sponsors, the bands and DJs, the bar staff, the breweries, the Maltings Pavilion and everyone who came along over the three days to make it into another great event.

"Possibly the best one yet and one of the biggest town beer festivals in the region.

"See you again next year."

Last year the festival was held in July and raised £1,300 for the mental health charity Mind.

The money donated from the last two events was raised from festival t-shirt sales and donations to collection boxes.

Dates for next year's festival are yet to be confirmed.
