As part of the festival, there will be a barbecue tomorrow and Saturday at 6pm. There will also be live music tomorrow and Saturday night, as well as Sunday afternoon.

The event is sponsored by Newcastle-based company, Jobling-Purser.

It is the fourth year in a row that HospiceCare has been chosen to be the sole beneficiary of the event.

The last three festivals have helped to raise more than £19,000 for the cause, supporting around 780 hours of Hospice at Home care.
