Because entry is free, the pub will be collecting voluntary donations from customers to help raise the much-needed funds for Northorpe Hall Child and Family Trust.

A spokesperson from the trust said: “We are grateful to the Beerhouses Group for organising this fundraising event for Northorpe Hall and the DJs who will be headlining this weekend.

“We support on average 600 children and young people per month and this event with a focus on music is a great way for local people to come together, find out more about our work and funds will go to directly support those who struggle with mental health concerns.

“Thank you.”
