The Âé¶¹Éç Hereford & Worcester stage at SnodFest nr Pershore

The Âé¶¹Éç Hereford & Worcester stage at SnodFest nr Pershore
SnodFest has got to be our favourite festival story.
Ìý
A few years back, a group of people got together in Upton Snodsbury with the idea of building a park.
Ìý
But instead of holding a car boot, bingo evening or jumble sale, decided to hold their own music festival.
Ìý
This has now turned into an annual event, with the exception of last year, to fund the upkeep of the area.
