Brodstock 2023: Everything you need to know about this year's Hipperholme music festival including stage times and where to park

The family-friendly festival showcases some of the area’s best bands and solo performers over two stages all in aid of local good causes.

Tickets sold out back in March and organisers are all set for their biggest festival so far.

“We can’t thank people enough for backing the event as we’ve sold more tickets than ever before,” said James Ogden from Brodstock.

“The forecast looks great, our volunteers are ready to put on a show and our sights are set on raising over £30,000 for great causes.”

From ticket sales alone, the festival has pledged £5,000 each to Overgate Hospice, Andy’s Man Club, Calderdale MS Group and Old Brodleians rugby club.
