Brodstock 2017 - Rock '˜n' Roll fun for all ages

There will be music, stalls and entertainment, all raising money for the Overgate Hospice in Elland.

The previous three events have raised £35,000 and on June 17, organisers are hoping to break the £50k fundraising mark.

The event is held at Old Brodleians Rugby Union Club and is run by 120 volunteers from the club throughout the day, creating a family friendly atmosphere, with community the main focus.

Last year’s event was a sellout, with over 3000 people in attendance. A variety of bands are on the bill including the Psychoslinky trio, Huddersfield rockers Days of Riot and Calderdale’s own ‘Jump, Jive n’ Wail’.

Tickets this year are £5 (£10) on the day, with free entry for any accompanying under 12’s.

Faye Henderson, from the hospice, said: “Brodstock is a
wonderful family day out and has becoming a good-sized fundraiser in a
relatively short amount of time. “Everyone
involved in this music festival should be proud they’re doing something so
good for so many people in Calderdale”.
