Summer Festivals Raise Over £10,000
This year’s summer festivals, organised by Entertainment Events Ltd, have raised an outstanding £10,675 for The Rosemary Foundation. Across three major events; The Hawkley Inn Beer Festival with Music, The Half Moon Music Festival, and the Petersfield Fringe Festival, attendees, performers, and volunteers came together to support this vital hospice-at-home service.
Hawkley Inn Beer Festival with Music - £2,575 Raised
On June 14-15, The Hawkley Inn hosted a lively Beer Festival with Music, raising £2,575. Despite unpredictable weather, performers including Chloe & Tom, Parallel Lines, Bluestone Bills, and Black Cherry Jam kept festival-goers entertained with their amazing sets. The festival’s success was fuelled by the dedication of performers, volunteers, and guests who braved the rain for a fun-filled weekend.
We extend our thanks to The Hawkley Inn for being such a fantastic venue and to all the talented artists who made the event memorable. A special thanks to our volunteers for their tireless efforts.
The Half Moon Music Festival - £6,050 Raised
The 7th annual Half Moon Music Festival was another huge hit, raising an impressive £6,050 for The Rosemary Foundation. Over four sunny days, 16 bands including Legends, Remedy, and Slipped Disc—performed for record crowds, bringing a diverse range of music and unforgettable party vibes to The Half Moon’s garden.
A big thank you goes to The Half Moon, Petersfield, for being an excellent venue and to all the performers who gave their time and talent. The event wouldn’t have been possible without our wonderful volunteers.
Petersfield Fringe Festival - £2,050 Raised
From August 28-31, the second annual Petersfield Fringe Festival raised £2,050, showcasing a mix of music, drama, and improv theatre at Churcher’s College. The four-day event captivated audiences, with many attendees returning for multiple shows, demonstrating the festival’s wide appeal.
Our deepest gratitude goes to Churcher’s College for hosting the festival, and to the performers, volunteers, and generous audiences who made this year’s event such a success.
