The Brentwood Festival has chosen Blesma as its nominated charity for 2016. Blesma, The Limbless Veterans helps all serving and ex-Service men and women who have lost limbs, or lost the use of limbs or eyes, to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
The festival is being held at the Brentwood Centre from Friday 15 July to Sunday 17 July with over 10,000 people expected to attend over the weekend. Acts performing include Soul II Soul, Level 42, Tony Hadley and The Boomtown Rats. As well as the music stages, there will be a food village, a festival market and a fairground. Tickets start from £22.50 for an adult day pass or £50 for a weekend pass. VIP tickets and camping options are also available.
Raising money for charity is what the Brentwood Festival is all about. Through generous donations, we’ve reached close to the £200,000 mark since the event first started out as The White Horse Beer Festival twenty years ago. We’re proud to be supporting Blesma this year, which is a fantastic charity providing support for injured Service men and women
Festival Director, Jason Jopson
Blesma Members and supporters will be attending the festival on each day to collect funds for the charity, with some Members presenting their stories of overcoming adversity on stage.
We are delighted to be the chosen charity for this years’ Brentwood Festival and thank the organisers for including us in this brilliant annual event.
