Local Festival raises thousands in aid of Dementia Support

High Road Festival is a Country & Americana music festival with a sprinkling of Folk and Blues which was held on the 14th and 15th of July 2023, in the picturesque village of Great Finborough. In support of the Mid Suffolk Voluntary Organisation Forum for Dementia, the aim of the festival was to raise as much money as possible to support people living with dementia. With 19 acts across the 2-day festival from Jax & Co, Palomino Kings, The-Forget-Me-Nots and The Lightning Club to name a few.

The event was met with high wind and rain which amazingly had no impact on the vibrant atmosphere and the thousands of festival-goers that attended. 

In total, a staggering £15,000 was raised in aid of dementia support which will massively benefit the longevity of our dementia-friendly groups, as well as communities and carers too. A massive thank you to Stephen and the team who made this event possible!
