ListerFest raises more than £3,000

We are delighted to announce that the very first ListerFest has raised a phenomenal £3,163!

The family-friendly festival held at The Cricketers in Weston was a huge success with hundreds of visitors enjoying the festivities.

There was back-to-back music from a range of local artists including Abbie Gathard, Steve Young and The Real Time Players and headliners, National Funk Service - a group made up of staff from Lister Hospital. 

Beth McNeil, Head of Fundraising said: “We were delighted to be part of this brilliant festival which raised funds for Lister Hospital. The idea for the event came from staff members Adam Frosh and Marie Lyons, two very talented consultants at the hospital who go above and beyond for our patients every day but also wanted to use their musical talents to raise funds for the hospital with their brilliant funk band National Funk Service."

"We'd like to thank One2One Recording Ltd who brought together the fantastic acts who all donated their time for our charity.

"We would also like to say a huge heartfelt thank you to the ListerFest committee, the performers who helped make the day a success, all of the visitors who came along to enjoy the day, our wonderful volunteers who gave up their time to help and the array of stallholders who came along too!

"And a special thank you to Mike at The Cricketers for his incredible support and for being our fantastic host for the day whilst also organising the stages, inflatables and face painting."
