Three-day festival adds to Whit experience

Date published: 06 June 2014


A novel festival will add a new dimension to Saddleworth’s crowd-pulling Whit Weekend.

The Beer and Music Festival at the White Hart, Lydgate, will run from June 12-15 — adding three extra days of entertainment to the annual Whit Walk festivities on the Friday.

Twenty live bands will play over the three days.

Tickets for the Beer and Music Festival cost £20 in advance for the three days, including a hog roast sandwich on the Thursday.

Tickets for Thursday only cost £4.50 in advance or £5.50 on the door, from 6pm. Saturday (£15) and Sunday (£10) tickets are on the door only, from noon. Info: www.thewhitehart.co.uk
