Messenger Newspapers: The Brit Fest is on its way to Ashley Hall

Brothers Edward and Anthony said: "We are thrilled to reveal plans for The Brit Fest. 

"The Brit Fest will celebrate not just music but the best of British culture, cars, food and drink, fashion, the arts, and some of the most renowned musical entertainment from these shores. 

"The appetite for coming together and celebrating has never been stronger, so we want to use this opportunity to gather and shine a spotlight on the amazing talent we have in this country.

"The event will have a charity and community focus, and we are working hard with partners to make sure the festival can be as carbon neutral as possible by developing an offsetting programme. We will announce more details as we head towards the event. We are excited to welcome festivalgoers and we hope they embrace the event and they take the opportunity to join us for a fabulous weekend with their family and friends."

The Brit Fest is at Ashley Hall over three days from Friday, July 5, next year.
