The primary goal of Linton Festival is to raise money for charity. This year, we are proud to announce we have donated a total of £10,000 to local organisations!!!
On Tuesday, we were joined by representatives from our chosen charities at The Alma to hand over their cheques.

These included:
Help Appeal – County Air Ambulance Trust,
Hope Support Services,
Hope for Tomorrow,
Parkinson’s UK,
Herefordshire Mind and more.

Thanks to some of our key sponsors:
Moat contracting,
Westons Cider
and Edge Networks for making the presentations.

We can’t thank everyone who is involved with Linton Festival enough. No matter what capacity that’s in – whether it be festival goer, artist, committee member, helper, supplier etc etc….all of you contribute to making the event the success it is which means we are able to give away so much money to some incredible organisations who vitally need it.
Please keep supporting us and we promise to keep bringing you great music and beer.
We combined the evening with our sister festival, Linton Summer Sessions, who donated £1,500 from the proceeds of their event in September to local organisations including Linton Village Hall and PTFA Gorsley Goffs School, both who have some urgent projects involving floors and roofs in much need of funds. Again, thanks to all involved in this event.
Money like this makes a big difference. Presentations were made by sponsors Moat contracting and Naylor Powell Estate Agents.

“On behalf of Alzheimer’s Research UK I would like to thank Linton Festival for their very generous donation to the vital work we are doing.” #ForACure
