Our charity partner for 2023

Variety – the Children’s Charity supports kids who are living with disability, disadvantage or illness. Our work allows kids to gain mobility, to get out and about in the community, to communicate, achieve independence and increase their self-esteem. We make sure the kids who miss out, can always join in.

Help raise funds for this awesome charity. We are donating a portion of ticket sales to Variety and their volunteers will be on the ground at the Festival.
