SUMMER vibes will be ringing out across Great Alne this June when the village plays host to its first ever music festival.

The family-friendly event is being organised by the Friends of Great Alne School PTA.

There will be live music on specially-built outdoor stages, a bbq, bar, bouncy castle and a variety of stalls.

Alne Fest is being organised by a small band of PTA volunteers, all hoping to raise as much money as possible for Great Alne School.

Abby Ratcliffe, PTA chairman, said: “This is a real first for us and big event for the school and village so we’re really hoping the whole community gets behind us to make it a success.

“We have some great bands lined-up - including groups from Alcester Academy - all performing on a stage we’re going to build outdoors especially for Alne Fest. We want to create a proper festival vibe; showcasing local talent to support our local school while everybody comes together for a really good time.”

Alne Fest is on June 23, from 4pm to 9pm at Great Alne Memorial Hall.
