Once again, we were delighted to sponsor Wellifest Music Festival, set in the heart of Saddleworth at Well-i-Hole Farm. The annual summer event, which alongside The Saddleworth Show is organised by The Rotary, raises funds for all manner of local causes and has been running for 50 years!
The festival is widely accepted as being the best community charity music event in the area and is a real draw for families with all kinds of activities and side-shows for children. Obviously, many bands were pre-occupied with performing at Glastonbury over the weekend, but Wellifest was thrilled to have secured Guns N Yorkshire Roses as the headline act! And with thousands of attendees, the atmosphere was just as electric as that much larger farm down south!
The weather was kind (mostly!), the crowd really got behind the bands and most importantly, thousands of pounds were raised for local causes and charities.
Tony Morris, MD of M & C Risk Solutions, says: “It’s a real privilege to put our name to Wellifest again this year. It’s always a great event, hotly anticipated by everyone who attends, whether they are campers or kids. We feel it’s important to support local causes, and this one, especially so, given that The Rotary raises funds for a whole range of local charities and projects.”
