THE SECOND annual Womfest music festival proved a big hit and organisers are confident of hitting a £10,000 target for charity.
Thirty artists packed out ten venues over two days of music in the sun.
Ex-soldier Ben Parkinson started off the festivites and soldiers collected money for Help For Heroes charity over the two days. A total of just over £7,000 was counted up this week and more money is expected to come in through an event this weekend.
An attempt at a Guinness World Record will be rescheduled as the ice cream needed melted due to a power cut.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
